Sometimes we do not have room references from architects and we need to create them ourselves. We need to be able to show clearly the location of particular room on the layout - it can be done in wireframe top view. Unfortunately sometimes room nu...

Room appears in the project tree in order of tracing it not in alphabetical order. The trouble is it cannot be changed and it is being replicated in all the results and reports. Numbers are often a part of room names, so I often end up with room n...

Energy Simulator. The print option was available in the old Hevacomp. Open Building use similar UI so why remove the print option in the first place? The print would provide a comprehensive details of the u-value, g-value, condensation check, k-va...

On Hevacomp, you were able to add your company logo to results such as Heat Loss and Heat Gain. It would be good if the same can be done for open buildings energy simulator results.

There aren't any .... it should be obvious/self-explanatory

The process to create a link between an Access database and some datagroup info is painfull at least. Manually editing xml files, making sure everything matches between properties, database columns names, units, making sure we are not using some t...

Addressing overheating due to solar gain is increasingly a big problem for building designers, and is now also a statutory requirement. OBD/OBES/Hevacomp is well placed to provide an analytical design tool that provides quick feedback to the facad...

Hi.. With ref to software research on Bentley OpenBuildings Designer, we would like to check on these prior to use in Manchester Metropolitan university one of our departments- When was software last updated Is software still on active development...

Analysing the effects of overheating is becoming an integral part of the design of buildings, driven by ongoing changes to the building regulations. These interactive tools for analytical modeling, exemplified by OBD's integration with Energy Simu...

It would be great to some quick checking tools like THERM, BL WINDOW, UcanPSI This would allow front line designers quickly evaluate their designs without having to throw things over the wall to another app or specialist consultant and waiting for...
