Update history​

CYPETHERM EPlus

Connections between the frame and glazing in glazed openings

As of version 2022.d, in CYPETHERM programs with the EnergyPlus™ calculation engine, the thermal properties between the frame and glazing junction and between the frame and opaque panels or blind box can be defined (stated in standard EN ISO 10077-1:2020), in the definition of the opaque fraction for glazed openings and skylights.

The programs allow the users to define the length and linear thermal transmittance for the couplings in each type of opening, offering an assistant with common values to facilitate the definition.

Upgrade of the EnergyPlus calculation engine to version 9.5

Version 2022.c of CYPETHERM EPlus and CYPETHERM FUJITSU programs uses the new EnergyPlusTM 9.5 calculation engine.

Clip volume

As of version 2022.b, applications with 3D drawing surroundings allow a viewing volume to be defined from the geometric envelope of the scene content. The arrows allow the viewing volume to be adjusted by moving their faces and the arches allow the viewing volume to be adjusted by means of 6 clips planes.

General improvements

Version 2021.g of CYPE’s programs is a closing version of the 2021 version.

As well as the new features and improvements expressly indicated in each version of CYPE software, process optimisation involving internal updates for all our programs is normally included. In each revision, all programs are systematically checked and changes are made to improve their performance, therefore, we recommend that our users (in this case those of v.2021) always update their version to the latest one, regardless of the country for which they are using CYPE software or the language in which it is installed.

Display of air conditioning systems connected to terminal units

In the "Building" tab, after clicking on the "Multiple editing" button, in the "Terminal units" section, the "System" column has been added which shows the air conditioning system(s) connected to each terminal unit defined in the building zones. Collecting this information in a single window allows for a quicker review of the air conditioning systems connections.

Exporting building CO2 emissions result to CYPETHERM Improvements Plus

CYPETHERM programs with EnergyPlus engine export the CO2 emissions results itemized by building technical services and energy vectors. This information has been added to the IFC file that the program generates upon clicking on the Improvement measure button. This file can be imported into CYPETHERM Improvements Plus, which as of version 2021.f includes a section to define the CO2 emissions associated with each technical service in the building.

New results for lighting energy consumption and CO2 emissions

New calculation results have been added to the Consumption report:

  • In table "1.1.1 Annual energy consumption of the building" in the "Electricity" section, the final and primary energy consumption for lighting is shown, calculated from the definitions made in the spaces.
  • In table "2.2 Conversion factors", the table shows the final and primary energy consumption results and CO2 emissions itemized by the different energy vectors used in the building.

Definition of ventilation schedules in all types of spaces

The option has been added to define an hourly ventilation schedule in non-habitable spaces or those without permanent occupancy, in a similar way as is done for spaces with occupancy. Within the Library, upon defining a non-habitable space, the Schedule box can be seen in the Ventilation section, which allows users to vary the ventilation flow for each hour of the year. If this box is left unmarked, the program will consider that the indicated ventilation flow remains constant throughout the year.

URSA product update

Update of the thermal insulation products by the manufacturer URSA according to its 2021 catalogue.

Distribution and recirculation loss in DHW systems

The new "Distribution network" section has been included in the definition of DHW systems, in which the user can define the heat loss due to distribution and recirculation in the DHW installation in watts (W) or as a percentage (%) of the DHW demand.

Export/Import the analysis and study of the thermal bridges

As of the 2021.c version, CYPETHERM LOADS, CYPETHERM EPlus, CYPETHERM RT2012, CYPETHERM RT2012 CNOA, CYPETHERM COMETH, CYPETHERM RTExistant, CYPETHERM RECS and CYPETHERM Fujitsu can import, from a BIM project that is located on the BIMserver.center platform, the analysis and study of the thermal bridges that any of them has exported to the project. This way, once the study has been carried out on one of them, it will be available to the rest without having to repeat it in each program.

TOSHIBA R32 multi-split systems

Toshiba's new R32 refrigerant multi-split equipment catalogue has been included. Within multi-split, direct expansion systems (refrigerant), under the Toshiba logo, users can choose the new outdoor unit models. Similarly, indoor units can be found within multi-split direct expansion terminal units. Using the assistant, the complete system can be created.

If the multi-split system has been designed with Open BIM Toshiba, it can be imported into CYPETHERM programs with EnergyPlus, where it will appear completely defined.
