New in November 2026
Updates
- We've added a new 'Temperature configuration' modal which allows you to:
- Easily switch between 99th and 99.6th percentile outdoor design temperature in a project
- Customise the mean annual (or ground) temperature and adjoining temperatures of a project;
- Use temperatures included in the new CIBSE 2026 Domestic Heating Design Guide.
- The survey task has been extended:
- The "Heat emitters section" has a new "Heat emitter photos" subsection. Upload photos here to show on the plan and the technical report.
- A new "Room details" section has been added, which contains room notes and photos. They're also shown on the plan and the technical report.
- Clicking on a room in the floor plan will now bring up some new tabs:
- Overview which shows the annual demand of the room, certain statistics, as well as a list of emitters in the room.
- Survey where you can upload notes and photos of the room and emitters.
- Materials where you can view the materials used in each room.
- Heat loss where you can view a breakdown of fabric and ventilation heat loss calculations for each room.
- You can now toggle on measurements in the floor plan to view room dimensions.
- A new 'unheated' room type is available to use.
Fixes
-
Fixed an issue where multiple dormers were not adding the same heat loss for each dormer over a room.
- Fixed dormers causing heat loss for rooms in which they are not a part of.
- Fixed ground floor u-values using the incorrect value in the CIBSE Domestic Heating Design Guide lookup table for most rooms.
- Fixed internal heat losses being factored into the displayed total external heat loss for projects with multiple floors.
- Changed the default heated adjoining temperature to 15°C and the default unheated adjoining temperature to 5°C, per updates to the MCS guidance. Previously they were 18°C and 10°C, respectively.
- Fixed a bug where the ventilation heat loss was unexpectedly changing when an external wall material was changed, caused by certain walls not being counted as exposed facades.
