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:
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.
As of version 2025.d, the air distribution system can be designed by selecting the alignment point of the ducts and their connections.
Up until this version, CYPEHVAC only allowed the duct axis to be entered as a reference so that its dimensions and all the necessary connections took this reference to modify its size and position.
From now on, users can select as a reference not only the axis, but also any of the vertices of its section and even the centre of any of its faces.
It is now possible to insert manufacturer duct connections in CYPEHVAC version 2025.d.
Up until now, the connections available in the program referred to ASHRAE connections with their design data and it was the application that drew the connection based on the input data.
As of this version, it is possible to enter the connections of prefabricated ducts supplied by the manufacturers. Just as it was already done for ASHRAE connections, the application can automatically generate the manufacturer's connections required for the installation of ducts without the need for the user to enter them manually. From the "Catalogue management" option, different manufacturer's connection catalogues can be downloaded.
In CYPEHVAC version 2025.d, it is now possible to insert end pieces in duct systems. These elements are used by some manufacturers where plenums and silencers do not have mouths for circular cross-section ducts, as they allow different connection systems to be made.
Therefore, depending on the end pieces used, the same plenum box or silencer can be connected to more or less circular ducts, as well as to ducts with a different section.
From the "Catalogue management" option, the manufacturer's catalogues for the end pieces that have been implemented can be downloaded. These can be used by the user in the system via the "End pieces" option in the "Equipment" section of the "Air distribution" group.
As of version 2025.d, CYPEHVAC includes a new module that can analyse and design controlled mechanical ventilation (CMV) systems. The program includes all the elements required for this type of installation: ducts, heat recovery units, plenums, supply valves and exhaust valves, silencers, etc. from different manufacturers.
To use these features and others included in CYPEHVAC, the user license must have the appropriate permissions.
As of version 2025.d, the interaction during the insertion of elements in the app's workspace has been improved. For those elements that the app allows to be rotated once inserted (Rotate element tool), it is now possible to rotate them in 90-degree intervals on the Z-axis by simply pressing the space bar on the keyboard before inserting them.
This feature allows for greater accuracy and speed when positioning components within the model, avoiding the need for subsequent adjustments.

In version 2025.c, new options have been added to the "Help" menu of all CYPE apps, providing direct links to key resources on the CYPE website. These options make it easier to access to useful information and Technical Support, improving the overall experience of using the program.
The new options are the following:
These new additions make it easier to access information and provide the necessary support to improve the users' experience with the apps and to encourage professional development.
In this new 2025.c version, CYPEHVAC includes some improvements and corrections:
To continue with the connection of the design elements available in CYPEHVAC with the Open BIM Database manufacturer's catalogues, the selection of catalogues of the following units and elements is permitted as of version 2025.c:
