Thermal envelope of the building in GLTF standard format

As of the 2019.g version, "CYPETHERM EPlus", "CYPETHERM HE Plus" and "CYPETHERM RECS Plus" export two independent GLTF files (attached to the IFC) with the thermal information of the building envelope to the BIM project located on the BIMserver.center platform. Each GLTF file allows users to view the data in a different way in any viewer that interprets the GLTF standard format (AUTODESK Viewer, glTF Viewer, BIMserver.center web viewer...):

  • Thermal model, by element
    The complete construction solutions used in the building are displayed, as well as their properties (reference, thickness and thermal resistance).
  • Thermal model, by layers
    The individual layers that make up each construction solution together with their properties (reference, thickness and thermal resistance) are displayed.

Export results to the Open BIM project

As of the 2019.g version, CYPETHERM programs with the EnergyPlus™ analysis engine (CYPETHERM EPlus, CYPETHERM HE Plus and CYPETHERM RECS Plus) can export the results reports they generate to the Open BIM project to which they are linked.

To do so, the Export button has been added in the "Results" tab. As with other programs included in the Open BIM workflow, this export generates a file with IFC format that is included in the BIM project, located on the BIMserver.center platform (other programs that also generate graphic documentation will include other "IFC" " in the project). The IFC files of CYPETHERM with the EnergyPlus™ analysis engine contains the PDF files corresponding to the results lists. These PDF files will be accessible from the BIMserver.center platform by any member of the BIM project team that has the appropriate role.

Import VRF equipment from Open BIM FUJITSU

As of the 2019.g version, CYPETHERM programs with the EnergyPlus™ engine (CYPETHERM EPlus, CYPETHERM HE Plus and CYPETHERM RECS Plus) can import the Fujitsu "VRF Airstage" equipment that have been defined in the Open BIM project using Open BIM FUJITSU.

Import data from Open BIM TOSHIBA

As of the 2019.g version, CYPETHERM programs with EnergyPlus™ engine (CYPETHERM EPlus, CYPETHERM HE Plus and CYPETHERM RECS Plus) import new data from the air conditioning systems defined in Open BIM TOSHIBA. Specifically, they import pipe lengths and the installation dimensions of the 1x1 split equipment with distribution by ducts, and the outlet water temperatures defined in the aerothermal equipment.
