CYPELUX version 2025.d comes with new features that will make it easier to design and analyse the lighting for your projects. This program, which has been designed to carry out lighting calculations for normal and emergency lighting systems, as well as natural lighting, has been improved to offer a more complete user experience.
- All the new features in version 2025.d.
3D design with the new work environment
Our tool has taken a qualitative leap forward by adding a 3D work environment. The new interface features dockable windows that make it easier to manage and visualise the project in 3D, including a work area, views, levels and management of own elements and elements read. This update not only improves your user experience but also maintains support for 2D templates (DWG, DXF, PDF, etc.) for projects that do not have a 3D architectural model.
Grouping of standards into a single program
All the apps that previously used different standards have been combined into one version. As a result, the workflow has been simplified and the compatibility between their different features has been improved. This link to CYPELUX EN, CYPELUX CTE, CYPELUX SCE and CYPELUX LEED in the new CYPELUX now means that all the features previously included in the other programs can be accessed from a single place, including checking LEED 4.0 CAI CREDIT 8.1.
Automatic creation of bills of quantities
A new tab called "Bill of quantities" has been added, where items can be generated automatically from the lights in Open BIM Database, eliminating the need for mapping the elements manually.
Automatic distribution of lights
Up until the previous version, the program had two options for distributing lights, offering linear and circular distribution. As of version 2025.d, new options such as rectangular, polygonal or zone distribution have been added. In addition, flexibility and control over the lighting design is improved thanks to the automatic distribution in zone distribution, which calculates the optimum number of lights to achieve the desired illuminance.
Lights that are partially outside the distribution area can also be automatically excluded, which improves the accuracy and efficiency of the lighting design.
Improved display of results
With the new update, the graphics representing the results of the analyses carried out in the program can be displayed directly on the 3D model. This improvement helps users to understand the lighting distribution in the project more intuitively and visually, making it easier to identify areas of over- or under-lighting. This not only makes it easier to interpret the results but also speeds up the process of adjusting and optimising the lighting design.
The results after the analysis include lights for normal lighting, glare, emergency lighting and daylight factor. All these results can be represented by displaying their contour plots, contour lines or numerical values.
Generation of more detailed sheets
We have also improved the editing of sheets so that they show more detail. Graphic information can be included both from the CYPELUX model itself and from other contributions to the project that have been synchronised through BIMserver.center. From the geometric data and the information contained in the BIM model, the sheets can be generated by creating views and complementing them with additional data such as tags, dimensions, symbols, tables, etc. This function complements the possibility of exporting the drawings in DXF/DWG formats.
Incorporation of lights from Open BIM Database
You can now use lights from Open BIM Database manufacturers in your projects, and access a wide range of manufacturers' products. Detailed information on each light, including technical specifications, photometric curves and bill of quantities data, is available directly in the tool, making it easy to select, prescribe and analyse the lighting system.
