Edilclima

What Edilclima does

Edilclima S.r.l. is an Italian private software company founded in 1978 and headquartered in Borgomanero (Province of Novara) with an additional office in Turin. It develops and sells a modular desktop software suite for building energy performance, HVAC design, thermal bridge analysis, fire protection engineering, and building acoustics, targeted at engineers, architects, and HVAC designers working under Italian and UNI-aligned European standards. The core product, EC700, is a CTI-certified calculation engine supporting both the monthly method (UNI/TS 11300) and dynamic hourly method (UNI EN ISO 52016-1), with add-on modules for APE generation, legal verification (DM 28.10.2025), thermal bridges (EC709, with 300,000+ finite-element simulations), energy diagnosis (EC720, EC716), tax incentives (EC778, including DNSH/PNRR), sustainability protocols (EC779), and regional compliance for Lombardy, Piedmont, Emilia Romagna, Province of Trento, and San Marino. BIM interoperability is delivered through IFC import/export, and the suite integrates with regional portals (CENED 2.0, SIPEE, SACE, Odatech, CasaClima, ENEA) and complementary tools (Dartwin Mold Simulator, ANIT Iris).

Edilclima generates revenue primarily from perpetual software licenses (€200-€990 per module), with a recurring Academy subscription that bundles unlimited training (live webinars, on-demand courses, publications) and the Progetto 2000 blog active since 1991. The company also distributes ZWCAD 2D CAD under partnership with ZWSoft, and operates web services (SRI rating, APE reader, E-balance, PRO²). The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via edilclima.it with 15-day free trials and student educational licenses, supplemented by a regional partner/reseller network in Italy and a limited international English-language channel. Customers are primarily Italian technical professionals, with a secondary segment of installers and maintenance technicians. The firm holds a €15,600 i.v. share capital, is led by CEO Paola Soma, and obtained UNI/PdR 125:2022 gender equality certification from ICIM in July 2024. A wholly owned subsidiary, Edilclima Engineering, provides engineering consulting and design services.
