奔特力工程软件系统有限公司（Bentley Systems, Incorporated）今天宣布，公司已收购了Hevacomp有限公司（Hevacomp, Ltd.）。Hevacomp公司是总部设在英格兰设菲尔德的一家领先的建筑服务设计软件提供商，其软件专门用于提高建筑的性能。其产品组合包括用于能源分析、供暖和冷却负荷计算、管道及风道截面尺寸计算、电气系统设计的软件和产品目录。Hevacomp公司是建筑能源分析模拟领域的先锋，其产品包括美国能源部开发的EnergyPlus引擎，以及能够按照英国建筑法规L部分的要求进行二氧化碳排放计算的已认证软件。由于英国政府为减少本国碳消耗量而制定了非常激进的法规，英国市场对这些能源分析产品的需求迅速增加。此次收购给奔特力种类丰富的产品组合增加了新的应用产品，这些产品将有助于建筑师、工程师和低碳排放顾问设计能耗更低、二氧化碳排放更少、运营成本更低廉的建筑。由于此次收购，奔特力公司将扩大承诺，为基础设施提供长久支持，并增加全球各地“绿色”建筑的数量。

奔特力首席执行官Greg Bentley评论这次最新的收购项目时说，“Hevacomp公司的产品线是我们不断壮大的产品组合的重要补充，组合中的解决方案有助于为基础设施和环境提供长久支持。Hevacomp公司实质性的分析应用软件充分利用了建筑信息模型的内容，引入了严格的工程设计，能帮助基础设施专业人员和业主运营商提高建筑的性能，降低生命周期成本。

我代表奔特力全体同仁，欢迎Hevacomp公司的用户加入到奔特力用户群，也欢迎Hevacomp公司的诸位同事加入奔特力团队。我们希望能与这两方密切合作，从而推动最佳实践和应用产品的创新，而这些创新在创造下一代节能建筑的过程中将发挥重要作用。”

之前担任Hevacomp公司执行董事的Tony Baxter现在是奔特力建筑工程业务的产品管理总监，负责建筑服务和能源分析产品。Baxter说，“能成为奔特力全球机构的一部分，支持奔特力公司倾力推出世界一流的建筑服务工具和应用软件，我们感到很高兴。30年来，Hevacomp公司面向建筑服务工程师、机械与可持续设计工程师以及低碳排放顾问，成功推出一整套设计工具和内容。加入奔特力公司是巩固Hevacomp公司成绩的最好方法。我们走到一起之后，可以在全球各地部署这些解决方案和新的创新方案。”

关于Hevacomp的产品和服务

Hevacomp的模拟软件能帮助工程师和低碳排放顾问进行复杂的能源分析，来检测房间热量损益，夏季过热、达到设计指标上限的月份、过热发生的频率和建筑的能源问题。该软件还可生成外部遮阳三维图形，以及能够显示室内移动的阳光照射区的内部太阳透射图形。工程师在简单的负荷计算中使用的项目数据可以直接拿来进行模拟，因此，不必费时收集额外的数据，而且工程师也发现分析过程很简单，操作也方便。

Hevacomp公司种类繁多的建筑服务产品还包括，用于负荷计算、管道和风道截面尺寸计算、机械CAD的机械设计软件包；符合国际布线规范的电气设计应用程序（包括照明系统设计应用程序和电气CAD）；以及主要为满足市场对机械和电气设计工程师提出的更多技术要求而推出的技术支持和培训服务。

( BW)(PA-BENTLEY-SYSTEMS) Bentley Acquires Hevacomp, Ltd., Expanding Portfolio of Software to Improve Performance of Buildings

      Acquisition Will Facilitate Sustainable Design by Equipping Building System Engineers With Rigorous Tools to Leverage Building
                           Information Model

    Business Editors/Technology Editors

    EXTON, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 22, 2008--Bentley Systems, Incorporated today announced that it has acquired Hevacomp, Ltd., a Sheffield, England-based leading provider of building services design software dedicated to improving the performance of buildings. Included in its portfolio is software for energy analysis, heating and cooling load calculations, pipe and duct sizing, and electrical system design and product catalogs. Hevacomp is at the forefront of simulation for building energy analyses, incorporating in its offerings the EnergyPlus engine, developed by the U.S. Department of Energy, and software certified to perform CO2 emissions calculations required under Part L of the U.K. building regulations. Market demand for these energy analysis products is growing rapidly in the United Kingdom due to highly aggressive government regulations designed to reduce the country's carbon consumption. By adding applications to Bentley's comprehensive portfolio that will help architects, engineers, and
low-carbon consultants design buildings that consume less energy, have reduced CO2 emissions, and cost less to operate, this acquisition extends the company's commitment to sustaining infrastructure and increasing the inventory of "green" buildings around the world.

    Commenting on this latest Bentley acquisition, CEO Greg Bentley said, "The Hevacomp product line is an important addition to our growing portfolio of solutions that help sustain infrastructure and the environment. Hevacomp's substantive analysis applications leverage the content of the Building Information Model, incorporating rigorous engineering and enabling infrastructure professionals and owner-operators to improve building performance and reduce lifecycle costs.

    "On behalf of all Bentley colleagues, I welcome Hevacomp users to the Bentley user community and the Hevacomp colleagues to the Bentley team. We look forward to working closely with both to help drive innovations in applications and best practices that will be instrumental in creating the next generation of energy-efficient buildings."

    Tony Baxter, former managing director of Hevacomp and now Bentley Building's director of product management for building services and energy analysis, said, "We are very pleased to become part of Bentley's global organization and to help support its commitment to delivering world-class building services tools and applications. Joining forces with Bentley is the best way to build upon Hevacomp's 30-year track record of successfully providing a complete set of
design tools and content for building services engineers, mechanical and sustainability engineers, and low-carbon consultants. Together, we can extend the deployment of these solutions, along with new innovations, worldwide."

    About Hevacomp Products and Services

    Hevacomp's simulation software helps engineers and low-carbon consultants carry out complex energy analyses to examine room heat losses and gains, summer overheating, peak design months, overheating frequency, and building energy. It also produces 3D external shading graphics and internal solar penetration graphics that show moving sunshine patches within rooms. Because the simulations can be carried out with the same project data engineers already use for simple load calculations, no time is lost gathering additional data, and engineers find the analyses simple and easy to perform.

    Hevacomp's wide range of building services offerings also includes mechanical design packages for load calculations, pipe and duct sizing, and mechanical CAD; electrical design applications conforming to international wiring regulations, including lighting systems design applications and electrical CAD; plus support and training focused on satisfying the increased technical demands on mechanical and electrical design engineers.
