New manufacturer's catalogues with air source heat pumps and ground source heat pumps
With the "Catalogue management" option, the Baxi, Bosch, Daikin, Fujitsu, Midea, Mitsubishi Electric, Saunier Duval, Saunier Duval and Vaillant fan heater system catalogues can be downloaded.
In version 2025.b, these products are available under the "Equipment" button in the "Air source heat pump" section of the toolbar, and monobloc and bibloc air source heat pump systems are also available.
The Daikin ground source heat pump system catalogue has also been included. This equipment can be used in the system via the "Water to water heat pump" button ("Generators" button in the "Water-based air conditioning" section).

Update notification available
As of version 2025.b, applications now display a warning message in their initial window when a new update is available. This message provides information about the "installed version" and the "available version", together with a direct link to the Store page of the BIMserver.center web platform.
Clicking on the “Upgrade to the latest version” button automatically starts the download and installation process of the application. This feature ensures that the most current version of the program is always being used, thus benefiting from the latest improvements.
This method replaces the automatic notification and update process of a new version in the BIMserver.center programs available in previous versions.

Visibility of the "Price" and "Amount" columns
As of version 2025.b, Open BIM Quantities allows users to set the visibility of the “Price” and ”Amount” columns in several windows, including the ”Bill of quantities” table, the ”Project database” and the ”Cost databases”.
This configuration is done from the "Columns" option of the "Visualisation" group in the toolbar. Users can choose to hide or show these columns according to their needs, resulting in a more personalised interface focused on the relevant information for each type of project.
This feature is particularly useful for bills of quantities without prices.

New "Bill of quantities (Table)" report
A new report called “Bill of quantities (Table)” has been added to the “BoQ Reports” available from the toolbar in the “Bill of quantities” tab.
This report includes all the concepts defined in the project in a table with the following columns:
- Code
- Description
- Unit
- Quantity
- Price
- Amount

Link to the BIMserver.center Store
In the configuration panel for each application, a direct link to its page in the BIMserver.center web store has been included.
By clicking on the “Go to BIMserver.center Store” button, users are redirected directly to the corresponding page in the Store, where they can learn more about the application, view its features, read reviews from other users and see examples of real contributions.
This feature provides easy access to additional resources and support, enhancing the user experience by providing quick and easy access to all relevant information about the applications.

Information about the license model
An information message has been incorporated into the installation button of the applications so that, before proceeding with the installation, users can identify which applications are free to use (free of charge) and which require licensing permissions (including paid modules).
This enhancement improves the user experience by providing clarity and transparency on the options available to the user based on their license model.

Installing background apps
In the new 2025.b version of CYPE Menu, the background installation feature has been added. Users can now continue working on other tasks while applications are automatically installed in the background.
During the background installation process, the “Installing program” message is displayed next to the applications button in the main CYPE Menu window. Once completed, the message disappears and the application can be run.
This feature is designed to make applications easier to use and manage, improving productivity and the overall experience by minimising waiting time and interruptions during the installation of new applications or upgrades.

Improved definition of air duct fittings and inclusion of manufacturer's catalogues
The definition of air duct fittings has been improved. They are now classified as "custom-made" and from "manufacturer's catalogue".
Customised fittings are mainly used to join customised rectangular rigid ducts, although they can also be used for other types of ducts if manufacturer's fittings are not available.
In the manufacturer's catalogue fittings, users can find the fittings, with their references, that each manufacturer has in its catalogue.
With the "Generate fittings" tool found in the "Fittings" menu, the program automatically generates the duct fittings, using the ASHRAE database and choosing the catalogue, the material and the selection of the ducts being connected. If the ducts are custom rectangular rigid ducts, the program generates a custom ASHRAE fitting with the ducts' characteristics. If the ducts are not customised, the program browses the manufacturer's catalogue for the fitting to be used to join those ducts, and, if the corresponding fitting is not found, the program generates an ASHRAE fitting that must be reviewed by the user to indicate the material and selection.

Improved air duct definition and inclusion of manufacturer's catalogues
The definition of air ducts has been improved. Now, in CYPEHVAC version 2025.b, they are classified as rigid ducts, semi-flexible ducts and flexible ducts.
For rigid ducts, users can choose customised rectangular ducts (specifying their width and height), rectangular section ducts or circular section ducts. For semi-flexible and flexible ducts, users can select ducts with rectangular or circular sections.
When designing the job, the program checks whether the selected ducts meet the criteria for duct design indicated in "Design and checks". If, instead of analysing the system, it is designed, the program selects the ducts with the smallest section that comply with this criteria. For customised rectangular rigid ducts, the program selects the smallest dimension (width and/or height) of the admissible duct dimensions indicated in "Design and checks".
Since previous versions, in the "Project" menu, there is a "Catalogue management" option for downloading manufacturer products.
In this version, rigid, semi-flexible and flexible ducts from different manufacturers have been added. Furthermore, the generic catalogues are still available in the "Library of generic elements", where it is possible to continue to include the necessary conduits.
