ICE 4.0 Build 5 released 2010-10-20 New in ICE 4 Build 5 ==================== * Added two new reports: Thermal comfort according to EN-15251, with and without cooling. The new reports are switched off by default * Supported "hanging" walls (i.e. not adjacent to the floor, or only partially adjacent to a floor). Such walls may appear in a zone that intercects multiple parts of the building body. A zone still may not have different floor levels in different parts of the building body. * In the zones, rhe roof may now intersect the floor. * Copy an object (or a field showing the object) and paste it to a script window to insert a reference to the object * The user-defined extensions of ICE are now installed either in the user's or in the common folder (and not in program folder as before) * In IFC import: A new way to calculate external corners More precise position of a wall Warnings about space and section intersections * Default energy meter for electric floor heating is now "Electric heating". The field "Energy meter" of the electric floor heating made available at standard level. * Default energy meter for electric radiator changed from the zone's default equipment meter to "Electric heating". The electric radiators in the existing user's system will keep their energy meter, but they will be not marked as [default]. * The toolbar is replaced with a more modern one * Added new system parameter syspars.CD_lo = 0.65 "Large opening discharge coefficient". Mapped to parameter CD in models CELVO, MLVO, CELHO, MLHO. * (build 5.01) Supported floor temperature control for electric heated floor * (build 5.01) Supported computed x-range for diagrams * (build 5.02) Added transmission through doors to the zone energy report (Envelope transmission table) * (build 5.02) More reliable roof import from IFC * (build 5.05) Reordering zones by clicking Alt+Up and Alt+Down in the list of the zones in the main view. Changes in models and functions called from models ================= * CEDetZon Dewpoint temperature in MiscMeasure computed using CESimZon XHum instead of XHumLoc. * TAIRSAT Fixed initial guess for iterations * RELHUM Fixed Jacobian * OnOffwDelay New model * CLIMATE Added output variables WindVel2 and WindDir2 * A2A_AC The model AirHeetPump renamed to A2A_AC (the old name was wrong) --- in build 5.01 ----- * SIMCHIL Corrected bug in using performance curves --- in build 5.02 ----- * SIMCHIL Removed event * CEBEAM Rewritten exponent => more robust for small flows. CESFBEAM * cebeam Min liquid flow changed to 1e-8 Cesfbeam pmtMultiT pmtMultiM PMTCONTR HCSIMCTR FLHEAT cewathet CECOLPNL CCSIMCTR --- in build 5.05 ----- CEFAN Warning if air flow is bigger than rated air flow Fixed bugs ========== * Inserting HC panel in zone did not work. * If a value of a parameter was mapped to a component of an resource, this value was changed when editing the resource even if the mapping is broken. Examples of such parameters: setpoints in control macros that are mapped to components of "Setpoint collection" resource. * The 3D view was not updated after changing default constructions * IFC import: Fixed bug in the section intersection check * Fixed cases when a wrong property page is shown * Schedules in database with unspecified type of the output signal was not available in "Load from database" dialoog. * Fixed error in table "Envelope transmission" (transmission through roof during heating/cooling period and the rest of time). For old systems, the error is fixed when opening the system, but with limited accuracy (rounded to 100 kWh instead of 0.1 kWh). * Fixed bug in the import of the roof from IFC * Fixed using variable setpoints with user-defined control macros * The parameter "Performance" in chiller and boiler did not work * Fixed some bugs in online documentation * (build 5.01) Fixed the unit for CO2 emission in "Energy meter" form. It was written mg/kWh, but the program assumed g/kWh. * (build 5.01) Fixed comparing binding of variables in diff. False differences was reported in old versions. * (build 5.01) Fixed heating/coolin floor. The heating worked incorrectly with "thermostat" control and variable setpoints. * (build 5.05) Fixed bug in copying object of object with user- defined type to other system (the type was not copied) * (build 5.05) In version project, the system marked with "do not simulate" are now not included in the report. * (build 5.05) It was allowed to add extra VAV AHU to zone. This was not supported by the program. Now only CAV AHU may be added.
