A recent SBEM update as of the 18th September has resulted in Hevacomp PartL being unable to produce XML files.
A grace window, where both existing and new versions of SBEM could be used by energy assessors, was provided for by BRE in every previous update. No such grace window has been provided on this occasion.
This is very unfortunate as it has directly coincided with the transition of Hevacomp to OpenBuildings. Thus, as Hevacomp users should have seen in the below communication, there are no further updates possible for Hevacomp.
To resolve this we are working on a route for users to obtain their PartL outputs and XMLs from OpenBuildings, via the Hevacomp Import option. Users will be able to easily import their completed Hevacomp model into OpenBuildings Energy Simulator, and run the new PartL calculation to obtain the XML.
We are aware of the urgency of this matter to our users and are doing everything possible to expedite this.
Hevacomp Mechanical is NOW integrated into OpenBuildings Designer
When will it be possible to produce an XML. I need one now!
Hi Kevin, I have requested clarity on this for you and have again reported the urgency of the situation to product management. Many thanks for your patience with this matter.
