CYPETHERM LOADS is an application conceived to analyse the thermal loads in buildings, and incorporates the Radiant Time Series Method (RTSM), proposed and recommended by the “American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-conditioning Engineers” (ASHRAE) to calculate the cooling thermal loads, and the procedure to calculate the heating loads; both described in the “Load Calculation Applications Manual (2010)” (Jeffrey D. Spitler. Load Calculation Applications Manual. ASHRAE.ISBN 978-1-933742-72-4, 2010).
CYPETHERM LOADS (located in the Building Services group of the main CYPE program menu) is an easy-to-use, reliable and robust application, which calculates the thermal loads thanks to the different diagrams and its real-time response.
The main features of this application include:
- Calculation in accordance with the “ANSI/ASHRAE/ACCA Standard 183-2007 (RA 2011), Peak Cooling and Heating Load Calculations in Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings”, which establishes the minimum requirements for any method or procedure used to carry out the peak cooling and heating load calculations.
- “ASHRAE’s Weather Data Viewer 4.0” with 5,564 stations around the world to import the climate data required for the calculations.
- Solar radiation data based on ASHRAE’s “Clear-sky Solar Radiation” model.
- User profile definition, shadows and shadow elements.
- 24 hour cooling thermal load calculation results for the design day of each month (day 21) and heating load calculation results for each precinct and zone.
- Real time results graphs, so the results can be seen immediately as well as the repercussions of any changes in the job.
Users must have the “cooling thermal loads” module permits in their licence to be able to work with CYPETHERM LOADS.
CYPETHERM LOADS, for this version, is only available in Spanish and English. When the CYPE program is installed in Catalan, Spanish, Spanish for Argentina or Spanish for Mexico, CYPETHERM Loads is available in Spanish. When it is installed in English, French, Italian or Portuguese, CYPETHERM LOADS is available in English. CYPETHERM Loads will shortly be available in Catalan, French, Portuguese and Italian.
