Which download?

  Not sure? Apple menu > About This Mac: "Chip: Apple M..." means Apple Silicon.

Requires macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later.

Licence
  BPA Junction is licensed under the Five Element Group Software Licence Agreement
  with its BPA Junction Schedule: see LICENSE.txt in this zip (also at
  buildingphysics.au/software/bpa-junction/licence). By installing or using it you
  agree to it. When you register in the app you are asked to tick that you agree.

Install
  1. Double-click the zip to unpack it. You'll get "BPA Junction.app".
  2. Drag "BPA Junction.app" into your Applications folder.
  3. The first time only, macOS blocks it because it isn't from the App Store or
     signed by a registered Apple developer. To allow it, open Terminal and run:

         xattr -cr "/Applications/BPA Junction.app"

     then open BPA Junction normally.

     (Instead of Terminal: try to open it, click Done, then go to
     System Settings > Privacy & Security, scroll down and click "Open Anyway".
     If macOS says the app is "damaged", use the Terminal command above.)

Using it
  1. Open PHPP... and choose the project's PHPP (.xlsx). It is only read, unless you
     choose Send to PHPP, which makes a backup copy first.
  2. THERM folder... and choose the folder holding the THERM detail folders.
  3. Pick a thermal bridge on the left, check the suggestions, and Generate.
  Reports go in a "THERM reports" folder beside the PHPP.
  THERM itself runs on Windows only; this app only reads its .THM files, so copy
  or share them to the Mac.

Uninstall
  Drag "BPA Junction.app" to the Bin. Your name and organisation are in
  ~/.config/BPA Junction (safe to delete). Projects and reports beside your
  PHPP files are yours to keep.
