Through the SVA we can perform these tests and checks for our members. To eliminate the need for lengthy and cumbersome testing of software calculations against manual calculations, CIBSE has worked with Trimble as one of the main partners, to create the Software Verification Assessment, or SVA.

“However, many engineers often wonder whether calculations are correct, especially in the case of new or updated software. “Software that is being used to create building services system designs is getting more and more capable of performing calculations,” said Carl Collins, head of Digital Engineering at CIBSE and lead behind the development of the SVA. In addition, other Stabicad modules are expected to be assessed later this year. These modules are both a first to receive CIBSE certification in the UK. In order to support CIBSE in developing an independent software certification process, Trimble has worked closely with other industry design software providers, as part of CIBSE’s Digital Engineering Steering Group.Īs part of the software verification process, Trimble’s engineering design software for M&E, Stabicad, now carries the CIBSE SVA certification for its ventilation calculations module and heating & cooling water systems calculations module. The process checks the quality of calculations performed by M&E design software platforms, assuring design engineers’ calculations are in accordance with CIBSE standards.

The two organisations worked together to develop CIBSE’s Software Verification Assessment (SVA), a certification process for software used to create building system designs such as mechanical, electrical and plumbing (M&E).
