HVAC resources, methodology and calculator guides

Guides, methodology notes and direct links to every HVAC Toolkit calculator: heat load, duct sizing, static pressure, VRF piping, refrigerant PT charts, acoustics and CAD drawing. Every tool works in both imperial and metric (SI) units, and every result is meant to be reviewed by a qualified engineer before it is issued.

Load & selection

Start every project by establishing the design load, then size terminals and emitters against it.

Heat load calculator

Manual-J style room-by-room cooling and heating load with climate, insulation and internal gains.

Open tool
Air terminal sizing

Pick diffuser or grille type, quantity and neck size from airflow, throw and noise targets.

Open tool
Radiator sizing

EN 442 output correction for the real mean water-to-room temperature difference.

Open tool

Air distribution

Size ductwork on friction rate or velocity, then verify the fan can deliver the system total.

Duct sizing (ductulator)

Darcy-Weisbach friction loss with ASHRAE circular-equivalent round and rectangular sizes.

Open tool
Static pressure

Add duct runs, fittings and components, then compare total ESP against the fan rating.

Open tool
Duct weight & gauge

SMACNA gauge selection, sheet metal weight and leakage allowance for take-offs.

Open tool

Drawing & site measurement

Lay out runs on a plan grid, review them in 3D, and capture real site dimensions from your phone.

Duct layout drawing

CAD-style drawing with ortho lock, snapping, numeric dimensions, 3D view and DXF/SVG export.

Open tool
AR Wall Meter

Measure walls, openings and areas with the camera, with calibration quality and session logs.

Open tool
Acoustic study

Octave-band 63 Hz to 8 kHz analysis of duct-borne noise with NC/room level results.

Open tool

Refrigeration & service

Field references for commissioning, diagnosis and refrigerant piping.

Refrigerant PT chart

Saturation pressure and temperature for R-410A, R-32, R-134a and more.

Open tool
Superheat / subcooling

Convert gauge readings into superheat and subcooling with charge guidance.

Open tool
VRF pipe sizing

Liquid and gas line sizes with height and equivalent-length limit checks.

Open tool
AI design advisor

ASHRAE and SMACNA anchored guidance on sizing decisions and design review.

Open tool
Unit converters

Airflow, pressure, power, temperature and length between imperial and SI.
