How To Purchase WUFI

1.

Please download the Software License Agreement for the European Union, North America or other countries as PDF file from our server.

German law requires that license agreements have to be limited to a time period of 10 years. After this period, the program may not run under the then-current operating systems anyway. If needed, the expired agreement can be extended for further 10 years at no additional cost. Also, if you purchase an upgrade, the 10-year period will start over.

 

2.

Please fill out the agreement and send it back to us by fax (+49 8024 643 366) or mail (Fraunhofer-Institut für Bauphysik, Postfach 1152, 83601 Holzkirchen, Germany). It is sufficient to send us those pages where something had to be filled in. If your country is a member of the EU we also need your Value Added Tax Identification Number (VAT number).

 

3.

We'll send you our invoice per fax/email and mail. Please use the information on the invoice for your payment.

As payment methods we accept credit cards (Visa, Master), check or bank transfer.

The price quoted above in US-$ assumes that payment is made by bank transfer. In this case, no additional fees are usually incurred. Credit card payments must be made exclusively in Euro. The actual amount charged in US-$ will depend on the current exchange rate. Additional fees may be incurred which are beyond our control. If you want to pay with credit card please send us your card number, type of card (Master or Visa) and expiry date together with the license agreement.

If you like to pay by check please send the check directly to our postal address:

  Fraunhofer-Institut für Bauphysik
  Fraunhofer Straße 10
  D-83626 Valley
  Germany

 

4.

Upon receipt of your payment we'll send you the installation package (CD and manual) by mail. If you need it urgently you also can download WUFI from our server. In this case please inform us, then we'll send you the download address and your license key in advance by email.

 

For universities and educational institutions we offer special licenses for non-commercial use in research and education. For further information please contact the WUFI support.

 

Program Updates

We are committed to permanently improve the programs of the WUFI family. New tools, model extensions and data sets will usually be implemented into the current version of each program as soon as they are available. Most of the updates are free of charge and get a new sub-version number (after the dot, e.g. 4.1, 4.2 etc.). Every three or four years major upgrades with new main version numbers (in front of the dot, e.g. 5.0) will be released. These upgrades can be purchased for an upgradee fee as listed above.

If you want to purchase an upgrade please send an email to the WUFI support specifying the desired number of licences, the upgrade price and your address. Then we'll send you the new upgrade including license key and invoice via mail.

 

Free Versions

For non-commercial use, we offer a special light version of the new WUFI 5.1 with a somewhat reduced set of features for free download. The American version contains US and Canadian climate data and can be downloaded from the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. For further information about WUFI or WUFI licences please contact the WUFI support.

 

Commissioned WUFI Calculations

IBP also performs WUFI calculations commissioned by customers. The cost of these investigations depends on the extent and complexity of the calculations.

 

Hygric Material Parameters

If you need material parameters for your calculations which are not provided in WUFI's material database, IBP can determine the missing data in its laboratories with accredited test methods. The price given below refers to determination of the complete hygric parameter spectrum.

Determination by approximation methods: Euro 4000.-
 

Brand Names in the Material Database

brand names

With a daily count of about 20 downloads (about 20000 downloads since 2001) WUFI addresses a large user base, from young students to seasoned professionals. This dedicated audience with pertinent interests is actively working with the materials provided by WUFI's material database.

In addition to the materials provided by ourselves under neutral names, we offer to include in the database materials under your brand or company name.

We will be glad to consult with you on the requirements and costs.
