Climate and seismic data

As of the 2019.f version, CYPE Cost Estimatorcontemplates the climate and seismic data that affects the budget of the building. These factors are the following:

  • Thermal conditions
    The outdoor temperature affect the design and parameters of the envelope and thermal installations of the building, especially the cost of the insulations and the exterior carpentry.
  • Wind intensity
    The dynamic pressure of the wind conditions the design, parameters and cost of the structure and exterior carpentry.
  • Wind exposure grade
    Affects the cost of the structure and exterior carpentry, especially in buildings located near cliffs, the seaside and rural areas without obstacles, amongst others.
  • Seismic risk
    Seismic action influence the design of the foundation and the structure, and therefore, affect the final cost of the building.
