U-Value Calculator
Calculations from the Oracle online U-value calculator are recognised by FENSA and Certass for their competent person schemes. Once subscribed, it’s quick and easy to assess product performance and is pre-loaded with product data for many popular window and door set suites from major PVCu window system companies.
Window Energy Ratings – the Oracle U-value calculator can help find the right glass and frame combination for your WERs.
Acoustic Calculator
The Acoustic Calculator on the Oracle is a cost-effective alternative to acoustic labelling and testing schemes. It enables subscribers to the Oracle to quickly calculate the acoustic performance of a range of frame and glazing options and in most cases, with no need for acoustic testing in a laboratory.
Subscribers can then have the calculations verified with a report from an accredited UKAS-notified body such as Build Check Limited. We are a UKAS-accredited testing laboratory body No. 4044.
