Automate CE marking and
U-value calculation
Save time, meet standards with confidence
CE marking and U-value calculations are essential requirements in modern window, door and façade construction. At the same time, they can significantly increase the workload involved in planning and project execution.
With Logikal, these processes are automated directly within the design workflow. U-value calculations, Declarations of Performance (DoP) and CE marking documentation are generated from a single, central data source, helping you save time, reduce errors and meet regulatory requirements with confidence.
Time-Consuming Compliance Processes and Documentation Requirements
Documentation requirements in the window, door and façade industry continue to increase. Contractors, specifiers and auditors expect complete and traceable documentation, while regulatory requirements and industry standards must be met consistently. U-value calculations, Declarations of Performance and CE marking documentation have become standard tasks for many technical departments, yet these processes are still handled manually in many companies.
As a result, a significant amount of work is created beyond the actual design process. Employees must perform calculations, enter data multiple times and ensure all documentation reflects the latest project status. As project complexity increases, so do the risks of errors, inconsistencies and delays.
Common Challenges
- Manual U-value calculations for every element
- Time-consuming creation of Declarations of Performance (DoP)
- Inconsistent data between design and compliance documentation
- Increased coordination efforts between engineering and project management
- Uncertainty regarding compliance requirements and verification obligations
For complex façade projects in particular, these tasks can quickly become a significant cost factor and consume valuable technical resources.
Why Manual Compliance Documentation
Creates a Competitive Disadvantage
When calculations and documentation processes are not fully digitalised, the impact is felt directly in productivity, costs and project reliability. Every manual calculation requires additional time, and every extra data entry creates another opportunity for errors. At the same time, technical specialists are increasingly expected to balance complex engineering work with administrative tasks.
The problem becomes even more critical when project changes occur. Modified designs and updated performance values often require calculations and documentation to be reviewed and updated again. Without automated processes, this can lead to project delays and increased coordination efforts.
Automated U-Value Calculations and CE Marking with Logikal
The most efficient approach is to integrate calculations, design and documentation into a single workflow. This is exactly where Logikal provides value. The software integrates U-value calculations, system data and regulatory requirements directly into the design process, eliminating the need to transfer information between systems or create documentation separately.
All relevant project information is entered once and then remains available for every downstream process. This reduces manual effort while improving transparency, traceability and data consistency throughout the project lifecycle.
Key Capabilities
- Automatic U-value calculations based on verified system data
- Direct access to stored profile and material data
- Automatic generation of compliant Declarations of Performance (DoP)
- Integrated CE marking documentation
- A single source of data for design, estimating and compliance documentation
How Window, Door and Façade Manufacturers Benefit
Significantly less time required.
Calculations and documents are automatically generated in the background—without manual rework.
Maximum safety according to standards.
All relevant regulations and standards are taken into account in the system.
Relief for your skilled workforce
Your specialists can focus on value-added tasks instead of calculations and form filling.
Error-free and consistent data.
The central database eliminates duplicate entries and inconsistencies.
Faster project execution
Evidence and documentation are available immediately—without delay in the project timeline.
Greater Process Scalability
Automated calculations and compliance documentation reduce the effort required per project. This enables you to handle increasing project volumes efficiently and take on additional work without expanding administrative resources.
Greater Transparency Throughout the Project Lifecycle
In addition to saving time, traceability has become increasingly important. Modern construction projects require complete documentation of technical characteristics and performance values. When calculations, system data and compliance documents are centrally managed, changes and approvals become significantly easier to track.
This creates a reliable foundation that supports not only project execution but also future audits, customer enquiries and internal quality assurance processes. Companies can establish standardised, repeatable workflows while reducing administrative effort.
From Design to Complete Compliance Documentation
With Logikal, the entire process is supported within a single workflow:
- Design of an element
- Automatic calculation of thermal performance values
- Transfer of results into project data
- Generation of CE marking documentation and Declarations of Performance
- Provision of all required documents for customers and certification bodies
No system changes, no data gaps and no unnecessary manual effort.
Compliant Façade Projects
Without Additional Administrative Work
To remain competitive, manufacturers must automate key processes, especially when dealing with complex requirements such as CE marking and U-value calculations. Logikal provides the foundation for efficient, secure and scalable project workflows for window, door and façade manufacturers.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions about CE marking
and U-value calculation
What does CE marking mean specifically in window, door and facade construction?
The CE marking confirms that a construction product complies with the applicable European standards. It includes the declaration of defined performance characteristics and is a prerequisite for placing construction products on the market within the EU.
What is a Declaration of Performance (DoP)?
The Declaration of Performance documents the technical characteristics of a product in accordance with harmonized standards. It is a central component of the CE marking and must be provided for every relevant construction element.
How is the U-value calculated in the construction of windows, doors, and facades?
The U-value describes the thermal transmittance coefficient of a building component and is calculated based on material properties, geometry and construction. It is crucial for the energy performance assessment of buildings.
Why are U-values and CE marking so important for construction projects?
They are essential for ensuring compliance with legal regulations, energy efficiency requirements, and building approvals. Errors or missing documentation can delay projects or lead to legal consequences.
What challenges arise with manual calculation and documentation?
Manual processes are time-consuming and error-prone. In addition, there are media breaks between planning, calculation and documentation, which can lead to inconsistencies.
For which projects is the effort particularly high?
Especially for complex facade constructions with different materials and requirements, the effort involved in thermal calculations and standards-compliant verifications increases significantly.
How can CE marking and the accompanying documentation be made more efficient?
By integrating calculation, design and documentation into a central software solution, processes can be automated and significantly accelerated.
How does Logikal support the U-value calculation?
Logikal automatically calculates U-values based on stored system and material data directly during the design process.
Does Logikal automatically generate Declarations of Performance (DoP)?
Yes, the required documents are generated automatically and meet the applicable standards.
How is data consistency ensured?
All process steps access a central database. This prevents discrepancies between design, calculation and documentation.
Is Logikal suitable for complex facade constructions?
Yes, Logikal is specifically designed to meet the requirements of window, door and façade manufacturers - including complex projects.
