PHYSICS-BASED HVAC ENGINEERING PLATFORM

HVAC Engineering Software That Helps You Make Better Decisions Earlier

Design, compare, validate and optimise hydronic HVAC systems using a single physics-based digital twin. Replace fragmented spreadsheets, disconnected calculations and engineering assumptions with a workflow that proves HVAC performance before construction begins.

Whether you're evaluating concepts, designing systems, coordinating BIM models or commissioning equipment, Hysopt gives engineering teams one consistent way to make better decisions throughout the HVAC project lifecycle.

Used on +550 HVAC projects worldwide.

The hidden cost of traditional HVAC engineering

Most HVAC teams don't struggle because they lack expertise.

They struggle because engineering decisions are spread across spreadsheets, supplier tools, BIM models and disconnected calculations. Every design change creates more rework. Every assumption introduces more uncertainty. Every project handover increases the risk of losing engineering intent.

The consequences show up later:  

•  Oversized equipment and unnecessary CAPEX
•  Design changes that trigger days of revalidation
•  Commissioning issues that should have been prevented
•  Higher operating costs than expected
•  Performance gaps discovered after installation
•  Engineering decisions that are difficult to defend

The problem isn't engineering capability.
It's fragmented engineering workflows.

One engineering model.
Every HVAC decision.

Most HVAC software solves individual tasks. Hysopt connects feasibility, design, simulation, BIM coordination and commissioning through one physics-based digital twin.

Every calculation, performance prediction and commissioning setting comes from the same engineering model. The result is fewer assumptions, less rework and better engineering decisions throughout the project lifecycle.

One model

No duplicated calculations across different project stages.

One single source of truth

Design, simulation, BIM and commissioning remain aligned.

One engineering workflow

Less rework, fewer errors and greater confidence in every decision.
