CYPEHVAC

As of version 2026.b, project files are automatically associated with the corresponding CYPE app in the Windows environment. This means that you simply double-click on the file to open it directly in the appropriate program, without having to select it manually. This improvement streamlines the workflow and provides a smoother and more efficient user experience.

CYPEHVAC now includes combined thermal and acoustic analysis in ducts. This feature can simultaneously evaluate the heat transfer and acoustic performance of the installation, displaying the results using colour maps that facilitate quick and intuitive interpretation of the system's overall performance.

Entering systems in CYPEHVAC is now more intuitive thanks to new tools (extend/trim, regenerate and delete connections), improvements in tags, references and colour configuration.

As of version 2026.b, CYPEHVAC can configure the design by systems, choose between optimal or corrective designs, and apply specific criteria (speed, pressure, dimensions). In addition, the design of water emitters has been incorporated, expanding the analysis possibilities in projects.

The connection between CYPEHVAC and the Open BIM Database allows cylinders and air-source heat pump units to be incorporated with their technical and economic data. This information is used both for the analysis and to obtain the final cost of the project.

PANASONIC products have been incorporated into CYPEHVAC. To use them in the program, they must be loaded through the "Catalogue management" option, available in the "Project" group.

The program can now model duct insulation. To do so, the new "Insulation" box is now available in the rigid duct input window. The defined insulation can be external or internal. This is only possible if the downloaded manufacturer's catalogues include this type of element.

New units have been incorporated for the definition of 1x1 split-type direct expansion systems in CYPEHVAC, including the possibility of inserting indoor units with ducted distribution.

New options have been added to improve the ergonomics of the data entry process in the program: improvements in the "Modify height position" option, saving the configuration of "Force elevation" when entering each type of element in the work area, modification of the orientation of the equipment when entering them by pressing the "Space" key and implementing of the new "Vertical pipe" option in the "Direct expansion" group.

In CYPEHVAC version 2025.d, new options have been added to the graphical analysis of duct-specific results. As a result, it is now possible to display the most unfavourable route, the results of the air flow rates or the original colour of the materials used, for the air distribution system.

In addition, its behaviour has been changed, and a button has been added to activate the display of the analysis and to configure the analysis options.

In version 2025.d, CYPEHVAC incorporates a new feature that can be used to obtain all the documents generated by the program with neutral elements (in cases where it is not possible to work with user library elements). To this end, within the "General options" menu, in the "Results output" section, the prescription options have been implemented which can configure the documents produced by the program (drawings, reports, quantities, etc.), establishing the criteria for generating the descriptions of equipment, materials or services selected from the catalogues downloaded from the Open BIM Database and included in the project.

The following options are available:

  • Commercial prescription of the selected product
  • Prescription with possibility of equivalent product
  • Description without specification of the commercial product

In version 2025.b, the air terminals available in CYPEHVAC were extended with the addition of supply and exhaust valves. These elements, which are mainly used in controlled mechanical ventilation (CMV) systems, could be selected regardless of the available connectors and flow regulators for each air terminal model.

In the new 2025.d version, the possibility of entering supply valves and exhaust valves has been included, considering the selection of the connector and/or flow regulator compatible with the valve model, as long as the catalogue of the selected manufacturer provides this information.

The insertion of supply valves and exhaust valves has not been modified, so users can still incorporate these elements into the system from the "Connectors" option in the "Air distribution" section, which are available once a manufacturer's catalogue has been downloaded via the "Catalogue management" option.

If a catalogue is chosen which includes the connectors and flow regulators compatible with the nozzles, a panel will appear where users can choose the connector and/or flow regulator they want to use with that model of valve.
