The analysis and code justification of the new CTE HE 1 for new building projects or extensions of existing buildings for private residential use have been implemented in the 2014.i version of CYPECAD MEP, within the Thermal study tab. Future versions will include buildings for other uses (which require the object building be analysed and compared to a reference building); and will be able to analyse buildings in accordance with the new “exigencia básica HE 0, de Limitación del consumo energético”.
The implementation of the analysis and justification of the new CTE DB HE 1 2013 in CYPE programs has brought about the creation of the program: CYPETERM HE, which is the real analysis motor to apply the HE 1 update.
The new analysis is present alongside the previous simplified option of the CTE DB HE 2006, as well as the option to export the building to LIDER so it may be analysed using the general option (both which will be revoked as of the 12th March 2014), and requires for it to be expressly activated in the “General data” menu, where it can be distinguished from the other options using the 2006 and 2013 suffixes.
More information on the implementation of the new DB HE 1 in CYPECAD MEP can be found in the new features of the 2014.i version on our Spanish webpage.
