Hottgenroth Software GmbH & Co. KG

Mission – Vision

Buildings account for more than 40% of our total energy consumption; energy to heat, ventilate, cool and light the homes we live in and the buildings where we learn, work, shop, care for the sick, and spend our leisure time. At Hottgenroth/ETU Software we are aware that the building industry carries a great responsibility; not only to the owners and users of the buildings it creates, but also to wider society and to future generations. It is our industry’s duty to apply the best available techniques to make buildings energy efficient, secure, fit for purpose and future-proof so that no resources are wasted. Hottgenroth/ETU is dedicated to developing software tools that help building professionals make the right decisions, every day.

Hottgenroth/ETU develops, sells and supports practical software tools in the fields of engineering, simulation, compliance-verification and financial justification of building services and renewable energy systems. Our software is used by architects, building services engineers and energy consultants. The products connect to BIM (Building Information Modeling) systems by supporting the import and export of drawings and data through the IFC format.

All products are built with the same DNA: easy to use, reliable, affordable and up-to-date with the latest technology. The ETU Software products can be used as individual solutions or they can interconnect: the same building-model can be used for multiple engineering/simulation tasks throughout the whole building engineering process, from plain U-(or R-) value calculations to heat-loss or cooling-load assessments, sizing of HVAC equipment, pipe-network layout design, hydraulic balancing and dynamic building simulation incorporating renewable energy sources. The Hottgenroth/ETU tools can be used for both new-build and retro-fit. Our services include product training and technical hotline support.
