•Screens that display the building geometry now load much more quickly.
•New geometry drawing tools
•Multiple geometrical objects can be selected, copied and moved.
•With the drawing function "Select" active, a selection box can be drawn to make a selection of multiple geometric objects. Objects can also be selected by double-clicking. The entire geometry can be selected by pressing Ctrl-A.
•New geometry display features
•The look and feel of the geometry display has been improved.
•There are new views available for top, front, rear, left-side, right-side, as well as a parallel projection. The default view is 3D perspective.
•The “Insert cross section” feature lets scross-sections be generated in any plane.
•2D floor plans can now be generated, including room numbers and room names.
•Results now stored in data file
•The TXT and RTF results files are now stored with the data file, so a re-opened project does not have to be recalculated to see these results.
•The RTF can be saved as .DOC, .DOCX or .PDF.
•Comfort graphs from building simulation
•The comfort graph has been updated in line with the new ISSO publication 74, 2014. The changes affect the lower and upper limits of the three comfort classes, and the the determination of the average outside temperature.
•There is an added comfort graph according to the Dutch “Fresh Schools” standard of April 2012.
•There is an added comfort graph that corresponds to the European standard EN 15251 of 2007 (NEN-EN 15251 is a Europe-wide standard).
•There is a new menu item "free days", which presents holidays and public holidays. During these periods, time schedules can be set differently.
•There have been some extra options provided for the control of air-handling bypasses.
•Three new delivery devices have been added: 4-pipe chilled ceiling , DX cooling and local electrical heating.
•The software deals with negative heat production (such as applies with refrigeration appliances in a supermarket).
•There is a new screen with a list of all calculations in a project. It shows all the calculations of the modules and variants.
•The display indicates the status of each calculation..
•The error messages display at the bottom and has been given a new look.
•The displaying and hiding of error messages now responds better.
•Error messages can be copied to the clipboard and can be stored in an Excel file.
•A message now tells the user that the software will be automativally restarted after a change to the language setting, the 3D rendering system or the library path.
•The climate file "NEN5060 ref to2 strand" has been updated.
•Some bugfixes associated with complex geometries have been fixed.
•In some situations, a door or window could not be moved in a wall. This has been fixed.
•Intermediate floors are now correctly assigned the construction of the structural template of the adjacent space.
•Opening a project file from within Windows Explorer now behaves properly.
