User interface
The main view holds the input of the room/building geometry, the climate and all constructions.

Schedules
Heating, ventilation, occupancy... all important time-dependent values can be defined with schedules.

Ventilation model
Natural ventilation is particularly important for summer thermal comfort, which represents in THERAKLES also the user behavior.

| | Datenbases and editors
THERAKLES contains an extensive material database and allows definition of own materials.
![](2nd/images/screenshots/th-material_editor.png)
Material layers can be combined to constructions which are added to the THERAKLES construction database.
![](2nd/images/screenshots/th-construction_editor.png)
Also, glazings and windows are stored in databases and can be edited, whereby the solar heat gain coefficient can be specified as function of incidence angle.

The built-in results view contains monthly balances:

Annual balances:

| | and detailed hourly outputs, which can be analized directly in zoomable diagrams where output curves and components can be enabled/disabled.
![](2nd/images/screenshots/th-detailed_analysis.png)
Also, the results are stored as plain text files in CSV-format which can be imported into spreadsheet calculation software (Excel, LibreOffice, etc.) and other post prozessing software
![](2nd/images/screenshots/th-results.png)
or edited/anaylized via scripts.
