Bridging the Gap Between HVAC Engineering and BIM Modelling
When it comes to designing efficient HVAC systems, engineers and BIM modellers have long worked in parallel — not in sync. While engineers focus on hydraulic calculations and system functionality, BIM modellers concentrate on spatial layout and component placement. The result? A digital disconnect that often leads to errors, rework, and unnecessary costs. That’s where the Hysopt BIM Syncer, developed in collaboration with Autodesk®, changes the game.
