HVAC Solution is a Windows software tool for drawing and analyzing HVAC air-flow and hydronic schematics using intelligent, data-driven components that exchange operating information to ensure coordinated, correctly matched systems. It supports unlimited system arrangements, numerous fluid types (water, propylene glycol, ethylene glycol, steam), dual-season imposed loads for change-over systems, and multiple imposed load graphics for varied hydronic configurations. The software produces full-color presentation-quality schematics and generates equipment schedules in DXF or spreadsheet formats for construction documents. It includes analyzers for fan/pump laws, a boiler flue sizing calculator, an air and fluid properties calculator, and an automated Taco LoadMatch single-pipe system design feature; it can link with Elite’s Chvac and Rhvac programs to connect schematic design with load calculations.

Benefits

Better design coordination and accuracy Data-driven components reduce mismatches.

• Automatic information exchange between components flags inconsistencies early.
• Schedules and schematics are generated from the same model, reducing transcription errors.

Faster schematic creation and documentation Accelerates submittal preparation.

• Full-color schematics and auto-generated schedules cut drafting time.
• DXF/spreadsheet exports integrate with downstream CAD and documentation.

Greater design flexibility Accommodates many system types.

• Unlimited arrangements and multiple fluids address a wide range of projects.
• Dual-season imposed loads model change-over behavior without separate files.
