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 room details, including annual demand of the room and 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 National Annex referred to in BS EN 12831-1 2017 and CIBSE. 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.
Why have my heat losses changed since the last time I opened the project?
