Introduction
CYPETHERM EPlus is a program created to perform energy modelling and simulation of buildings with EnergyPlus™.
The app can import the required information extracted from other Open BIM tools, so that architectural, building and HVAC models from some apps can be used as a basis for energy simulation.
As a result of the analysis, reports on consumption, demand and indoor comfort are obtained. This information can be exported for use in other programs, e.g. for energy and economic analysis of different building improvement measures.
Note:
EnergyPlus™, an analysis engine developed by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), is one of the most widely used, powerful and recognised energy simulation engines available today. Thanks to its integration in CYPETHERM EPlus, the app becomes a powerful tool for the energy simulation of buildings, by determining their energy demand; as well as for the energy performance of the available HVAC systems, by determining the energy consumption per supply system and energy vector used.
