In the 2018.g version of AcoubatBIM by CYPE, the functionality to read and interpret indoor sound sources defined in an IFC file included in the BIM model was implemented. Now, the same task has been carried out for equipment installed outside the building such as the outdoor units of VRF, Multi-split and 1x1 Split systems. These devices can be introduced in the BIM model using the air-conditioning installations program CYPETHERM HVAC.
During the import process, the application automatically calculates the values of the parameters: r (distance between the source and closest enclosure of each affected space) and D (directivity factor - Q – of the machine) corresponding to each equipment set, based on the position of the source and the geometry of the building.
