CYPETHERM EPlus

As of version 2025.a, the CYPE program menu can only be downloaded from the BIMserver.center platform.

The CYPE Menu application was already available from version 2024.b on the BIMserver.center platform. Now, in version 2025.a, the advantages of CYPE Menu compared to previous versions, which were downloaded from the download area of the CYPE website, are as follows:

  • As of version 2024.b
    • Once CYPE Menu has been installed, the applications it contains will be installed from this new menu when they are opened for the first time.

  • As of version 2024.f
    • CYPE Menu allows users to manage the updates of the applications it contains.

  • As of version 2025.a
    • New program groups and many CYPE applications that could only be downloaded directly from BIMserver.center are included.
    • The version of each application to be installed can be selected (from version 2024 onwards).
    • Previously installed applications can be uninstalled.

Further information on the new features can be found in the following new features of CYPE Menu version 2025.a.

In the download area of the CYPE website, the download of the program menu for versions prior to 2025.a (in 64-bit and 32-bit) will still be available. In this download area, there is also a link to the BIMserver.center platform "Store" for downloading the 2025.a version of "CYPE Menu".

As a result of these changes, the 32-bit version of the CYPE Menu is no longer available in version 2025.a. As of 18 February 2019 (version 2019.f), the CYPE programs have been running on 64-bit systems. Since then, only the classic CYPE menu could be installed on 32-bit systems. All other applications (downloadable from the BIMserver.center platform) only worked on 64-bit systems. We believe that 32-bit programming is no longer feasible to take advantage of the superior performance of 64-bit processors and operating systems. Users who still want to use certain 32-bit CYPE programs (those available in the "CYPE Menu" prior to version 2025.a) must install a version prior to 2025.a from the download area of the CYPE website, but will not be able to upgrade their programs to later versions. Please refer to our FAQ question "Which version should I download, 64-bit or 32-bit?" for more information on the 32-bit and 64-bit versions.

CYPE apps have keyboard shortcuts common to all programs. In versions before 2024.e, each program displayed the keyboard shortcuts for each app via the "Search and activation of commands and options" in the top left-hand corner of the programs.

As of version 2024.e, the "Shortcuts for all applications" tab has been implemented in the dialogue box displayed when selecting this option and it shows all the keyboard shortcuts common to CYPE apps.

As a result of the simulation, a new file with .csv extension is produced which contains the calculated values of the indoor air temperatures of the zones and the outdoor air temperature, for each hour of the year. These numerical values coincide with those represented graphically in the complementary "Internal comfort" report.

The new temperature results file is available in the _dat directory next to the file containing the job:
… \ […]_dat\Energyplus\Project_cons.res\Zone air temperatures.csv

In the "Energy Sources" option, in the "Energy conversion factors" section, assistants have been added to load the national values for Spain, Portugal, Poland and Slovenia. Furthermore, users can import and export the values defined in this section in order to reuse them in other projects.

Within the "Complementary reports", we have added the "Calculation of the reduction factor (b)" report, which contains the methodology and detailed results from the calculation of the heat transfer to the unconditioned spaces of the building in accordance with EN ISO 13789:2017.

The results provided in this new report are used in the calculation of the heat transfer coefficient of the building envelope report.

The results output of the program has been enhanced with the new "Building envelope" report, available in the toolbar of the "Analysis" tab. This new report, which can be accessed without having to analyse the model, provides the results of the transmission heat transfer coefficient calculated according to EN ISO 13789:2017 and the air permeability of the thermal envelope. A breakdown by elements is provided and the thermal transmittance (U) value of each element is compared with the limit value set by the user.

The limit transmittance values for each type of building element can be set in the "Building" tab, under "General parameters", where the new "Thermal envelope" section appears. By activating the "Boundary conditions of the thermal envelope" checkbox, the program will check the limit transmittance of the building elements both in the "Check" button of the model and in the new "Building envelope" report.

Also, in the "Air permeability of the building envelope" section, users can now define a "Limit value of the air change rate with a differential pressure of 50 Pa", which will also be checked in the new report.

For 3D views defined within applications with a 3D working environment, the "Show selected templates in each floor view" option has been added. When activated, the templates visible in each of the floor views will be displayed in the 3D view in the dimension corresponding to these views.

As of version 2024.c, applications with a 3D working environment can manage the visibility of templates from the view configuration panel. For this purpose, the "DXF-DWG templates" tab has been added, where a list of all the templates imported into the project is displayed together with a checkbox to indicate which ones should be shown in the view.

All CYPE programs can be installed in their different versions (Professional Version, Evaluation Version, Campus Version, Temporary License). In previous versions, users could only choose the type of version to be installed from the classic CYPE menu.

As of version 2024.a, the selection of version types has been implemented in all CYPE programs on the BIMserver.center platform.

As of version 2024.d, this selection can be made during the installation of all CYPE programs, regardless of where they are downloaded.

As of version 2024.b, the energy consumption of fans included in air conditioning systems is defined by their specific power, i.e. their energy consumption per unit of air flow rate. This value is standard in the documents for these appliances and replaces the previous parameters of "Total pressure rise" and "Total efficiency". The program calculates these parameters, which are the input for the calculation engine, on the basis of the new "Specific power".

A new automatic control of the heat recovery unit bypass damper has been included, which allows outside air to pass through when it is convenient to reduce cooling demands.

In previous versions, the bypass damper of the heat recovery unit was activated if the outside air temperature was within the limits selected by the user. In this new version, the damper will be activated automatically whenever the following conditions are met:

  1. The outside temperature is higher than the "Minimum outside temperature".
  2. The indoor air temperature is higher than the "Maximum indoor temperature".
  3. The outside temperature is lower than the inside temperature.

As of version 2024.b, the control of the heat recovery bypass damper is included in the calculation of the building's energy demand, which will lead to a reduction of the calculated cooling demands in buildings with air conditioning systems or ventilation systems that include this unit.

In the air handling unit of the variable airflow system, under "Heating" users can now choose the Direct expansion Heating coil. This way, it is possible to simulate a compact rooftop unit with a variable airflow system and with both cooling and heating provided by the compressor.
