CCTech adds HVAC-Twin to Bentley System in portfolio

The HVAC-Twin enables quick turnaround between HVAC design iterations which leads to energy and cost-efficient HVAC designs.

CCTech, one of the leading company in Aerodynamics, Thermodynamics, Computational Geometry, Computational Fluid Dynamics, has recently announced the addition of HVAC-Twin to Bentley Systems’ powered by iTwin program. The HVAC-Twin enables quick turnaround between HVAC design iterations which leads to energy and cost-efficient HVAC designs. The designers and engineers can add sensor data, make connections, and start visualising data such as temperature, occupancy, and CO2 levels to diagnose and improve the performance of HVAC systems.

The HVAC-Twin is a web-based, physics-informed 3D digital twin that is built for easy accessibility and enhanced collaboration, providing quick turnaround between design iterations leading to energy and cost-efficient HVAC designs.

It addresses multiple challenges of stakeholders involved in the HVAC industry, from the design phase to maintenance and operations. These stakeholders include architects, building occupants, general contractors, HVAC system designers, consultants, and building owners.

The technology is a cloud-based platform that helps stakeholders to understand, built HVAC systems, which are frequently overdesigned. The solution helps improve the accuracy of HVAC designs provided by CFD for resident homes and commercial offices in cold and hot geographies across the globe.

Nem Kumar, Director, Consultancy at CCTech, said, “We are excited to add HVAC-Twin to Bentley’s powered by iTwin program. The iTwin Platform’s visualisation and data management capabilities allow HVAC-Twin to incorporate and visualise sensor data, and run simulations, to make broader inferences about HVAC designs with higher accuracy. This increases the speed and cost-effectiveness of HVAC system design.”

Adam Klatzkin, Vice President, iTwin Platform, at Bentley Systems, said, “We are very pleased to have CCTech add their HVAC-Twin application to the powered by iTwin program. In doing so, CCTech joins the growing ecosystem of software developers enabling digital twin solutions with the iTwin Platform. HVAC-Twin is a great example of how BIM and sensor data can be combined and visualized to optimize the design, maintenance and operation of HVAC systems.”
