Choose your units and timezone

Your units and timezone are saved with your language in Settings. They change how RenovU shows measurements and times to you, not the data itself, so you can switch at any point.

Choose metric or imperial#

1. Choose Settings and go to Language, region and units.
2. Under Units, choose Metric (m², cm) or Imperial (sq ft, inches).
3. Select Save.

Units apply to a project's floor area, materials and their quantities, saved calculations and the floorplan. Imperial gallons are UK gallons.

When you first sign up, metric is suggested, or imperial if your browser is set to the United States.

Set your timezone#

1. In Language, region and units, choose your Timezone.
2. If the device you're on is in a different timezone, select Use this device's timezone to pick it.
3. Select Save.

Due times, overdue tasks, reminders, quiet hours and the dates in activity and history all follow your timezone.

How dates and numbers are written#

• English: dates as in the UK, such as 31 October 2026
• French: dates and numbers as in France
• Spanish: dates and numbers as in Spain

When you type an amount, a rate or a floor area, you can use a decimal point or a decimal comma: "1250.50" and "1250,50" both work.

Currency#

Currency belongs to each project, not to your language. Budgets and spending are shown in the project's currency, which you choose when you create the project. See Projects and rooms.

On the public calculator pages, a units switch changes the page for you. Signed in, they start with the units from your settings.
