WINTHS® is the software solution for simple and user-friendly calculation of the climatic conditions acting on glass panes, taking into account geographical location and historical weather data in accordance with NF DTU 39 P3.
WINTHS® makes it possible to determine the occurring thermal stresses on glass surfaces in advance with regard to extreme weather data, thus drastically minimizing the risk of glass breakage.

In the calculation, WINTHS® takes into account a wide range of factors that influence the thermal loads on glass surfaces. The pane structure is fundamental: glass quality, edge quality, gaps, gas fillings, type and thickness of the frame and its thermal inertia.
These values are set in relation to the prevailing climatic conditions at the installation site. The basis for this can be existing climate data (average and extreme values) for this region, as well as freely selectable values.

The results are displayed in the form of graphs. In addition, all relevant calculation results are displayed to the user in a detailed report, including a summary of whether the respective glass structure satisfies the locally prevailing temperature fluctuations.
