PC requirements

The Niagara Framework® requires an adequate processor, hard disk, memory and speed to run complex building models.

The minimum hardware requirements include:

  • Processor: Intel Pentium Core 2 Duo, 2GHz
  • RAM Memory: 2GB, with 8GB recommended if a 64-bit installation
  • Hard drive space: 2GB available, 10GB recommended for any Supervisor
  • Ethernet 100 Mbit or 1Gbit NIC (network interface card) with TCP/IP support
  • Valid license
  • Internet access for confirming your license.

As a multi-threading Java application, the Niagara Framework® can take advantage of the added power available in multi-core processors. A processor that goes beyond minimum requirements, such as the current Intel Core i3, i5, i7 or AMD A6, A8, A10 series processors, can provide performance benefits.
