Version 1.31.0 – Specify Radiator
Properties & More!

In this week’s product update, h2x has added immense value to our users by allowing users to automatically size radiators (for surveying existing systems) and by improving the building heat loss calculations (for sizing mechanical HVAC systems).

Major Updates

Specify your radiator based on:

A fixed kW (e.g. 2 kW)

The exact type and dimensions (e.g. type 22 – 1m H x 2m W)

Let h2x size it automatically and set an upper bound (e.g. below a window with a height of 0.6m)

Improvements

A range of improvements have been made to the way you undertake heat loss/gain calculations:

You can specify default dimensions for windows, doors, and wall thicknesses

The total heat loss/gain for the building/level is provided on the screen as you draw

You can multi-select rooms to copy and paste them

The option to calculate in the default units of BTU or kW

You can add thermal bridging to heat gain calculations

A ‘heat emitter’ section has been added to the report export

You can now add a pressure loss to your heat pumps

End-to-end tests for the heat loss calculations

Fixes

Cloning with history for very large projects

Height issue when drawing some pipes
