When you launch the app and click on "New", you are given the option to create a "New project". First, enter the "File name" and its "Description".

Next, you need to specify the type of project.

You must select "Improvement measures analysis" to access the specific interface for analysing improvement measures.

The project can then be linked to an existing project on BIMserver.center.

This is done in the "Project selection" window by keeping the ‘Link to a BIMserver.center project" checkbox selected. This window displays the following options:

• On the left-hand side, you can sign in using a BIMserver.center account.
• On the right, use the "Select project" option to choose an existing project.

Later on, at any stage of the project, you can share or import project files via the "BIMserver.center" group on the main interface.

Importing BIM models

After selecting a project hosted on the BIMserver.center platform via "Select project" and confirming, the "Import BIM models" window appears, displaying the files contained in that project in IFC format.

The app lets you include one or more of the existing models in that project. To do this, tick the "Import" box and confirm.

These models must have been previously exported from a CYPETHERM simulation file (using the "Energy simulation" project type when creating a new build) and represent different scenarios or design alternatives.

Import results

Subsequently, the "Project" tree, on the left-hand side of the main interface, will display the alternatives imported during the project creation process. In any case, new improvement measures or design alternatives can also be created manually.

When you select each one, the imported "Performance indicators" will be displayed. You can add further indicators, or edit or delete the imported ones. To continue, you will need to add information to each imported option, such as its description and associated costs.
