Introduction

When the "Thermal loads" project type is selected, the CYPETHERM program calculates the thermal load of buildings using the Radiant Time Series Method (RTSM), as proposed by ASHRAE.

The app lets you import the necessary data extracted from other Open BIM tools, meaning that architectural and structural models can be used as a basis for calculating thermal loads. Alternatively, you can enter this information from scratch in CYPETHERM.

The calculation produces heating and cooling load reports for the spaces and groups of spaces defined in the project. This information can be exported for use in other programs, for example, for the design of HVAC systems.
