Over the years, we have received feedback from our users that it would be beneficial to include additional options within CAMEL for wall types, roof types, and window glazing to keep up to date with the latest products available on the market. Many of you have been utilising the function to add custom wall/roof types...
We want to take this opportunity to thank you for another year of your support. It goes without saying that we wouldn’t be where we are today if it wasn’t for each and every one of you. We have had a tremendous year filled with innovative product updates, new technologies, and of course, finally being...
We are currently seeking expressions of interest from our members for the CAMEL+ Beta testing stage. You will be one of the first to use CAMEL+ and experience how it operates. If you would like the opportunity to be one of the first few users to gain early access to CAMEL+, please send us an...
Change isn’t easy. But this isn’t a subjective concept. In fact, a part of the brain – the amygdala – actually interprets change as something threatening and releases hormones for fight, flight, or fear. The problem, however, is we live in environments that are constantly changing. Companies that adopt change, most notably through technology, profit...
Air-conditioning load calculation tools allow engineers to comprehensively analyse alternative building elements such as glazing, thermal insulation and low energy lighting to facilitate the selection of alternative types of air conditioning systems. CAMEL has been the industry standard calculation tool used by mechanical engineers for the last 40 years and if you haven’t already heard,...
Perpetual Licenses No Longer a Monopoly Believe it or not, there were days when we saved up for months for software licenses. Some were quite pricey, and as such, a major investment for firms and individuals alike. Known as the perpetual license model, prior to Software as a Service (SaaS), these licenses were the only...
Intelligence is needed to adapt to unexpected conditions. As far as professions go, engineers are an intellectually curious bunch. Tasked with figuring out tough problems with laser-like precision, one could argue that engineers are primed for adaptability. Engineers, among many other professions, were dispatched to work from home for most of 2020. Some speculated that...
One of the most popular words of 2020 was ‘remote’. While remote control devices have always been popular, there’s a new kind of remote in town. The state of work has seen a new trend emerge: remote working. The pandemic sent most of us scrambling to IKEA to establish a new home-based office. We learned...
Despite living in a digital world, accessing what you want when you need it can still be a challenge. Limiting productivity to a specific computer can stop you from getting your critical work done. But it doesn’t have to be this way. SaaS (Software as a Service) solutions help you stay close to the tools...
We are mentioning it a lot lately, and there is good reason behind this. As many of you are aware, we are undergoing some incredible software upgrades to CAMEL and HYENA coming very soon! These efforts are all in the name of adding value to the ACADS-BSG Membership and modernising our products to make them...
The user interface for HYENA+ is much cleaner and more user friendly than the UI used for the original HYENA program. This makes the experience more enjoyable, easy, and less taxing when using the program for long periods of time. HYENA is an excellent tool to have and its now web-based nature with HYENA+ has allowed it to become even more beneficial. – M. Cummings
It has always been a pleasure dealing with ACADS-BSG team due to their helpful nature and quick response time to any inquiries and technical issues. Camel\Hyena works out of the box and install time is in seconds, I cannot recommend any other company that provides better customer service other than Catherine and her team. – Marvin D
Catherine and the team at ACADS provide customer service of the highest standards always offering the best solutions for our business with fast response times. I would highly recommend ACADS-BSG. – Amy
The ACADS BSG suite of software has been used by VOS Group for 30 years. We as a company have grown as the software capabilities have changed with usability and technology. The support from head office has always been quick and accurate, with a resolve to overcome any obstacles. We have always found the outputs to be accurate and reliable and a good basis for good engineering design. – Shayne C
Moving to a cloud based platform has improved the overall performance of the software. [being able to log in from any device] has improved my overall productivity as I only need to carry my smart phone or a tablet, and I can do my job remotely. Tools and functions are clearly organised within the new interface reducing any confusion for a new user. Copy+ Paste option saves a lot of time for Engineers like me. It just works like an Excel Sheet, where you can copy items and paste them somewhere else. It saves a lot of time especially if you are working on a single project and you want to do multiple calculations. [HYENA+] allows me to quickly switch from one calculation to another without losing any data. This has reduced the overall lead time in doing calculations. I am sure [HYENA+] will have a positive impact on the Fire Industry. – Ahkil M
