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.
Bringing engineering and modelling together
Through a seamless integration with Autodesk® Revit®, the Hysopt BIM Syncer enables real-time synchronisation between the P&ID and the BIM model. The integration allows both HVAC engineers and BIM modellers to work in their own familiar environments — the Hysopt software and Revit — while their data remains fully connected.
With just one click, users can generate, validate, and synchronise models across both platforms. This eliminates manual checking and reduces the risk of mismatches that typically lead to high failure costs and long project timelines
Accuracy, efficiency, and collaboration in one workflow
Unlike traditional BIM plug-ins, which force engineers to build an entire BIM model before running calculations, the Hysopt BIM Syncer flips that workflow.
Engineers can first perform accurate hydraulic calculations in Hysopt — including pipe sizing, flow rate calculations, and system balancing — before automatically pushing these updates into Revit.
Meanwhile, BIM modellers can continue to develop and refine the 3D model. Every change is validated and synchronised in real-time, ensuring both models reflect the same data — instantly.
This approach not only makes collaboration smoother but also ensures that every design is both technically correct and spatially coordinated, paving the way for smarter, faster, and more reliable HVAC project delivery.
Reducing costs, saving time, and improving quality
By continuously validating and synchronising the models, the Hysopt BIM Syncer helps reduce failure costs by up to 10% and eliminates hours of manual work.
No more tedious component-by-component checks or time-consuming corrections after construction begins.
In the end, the integration between Hysopt and Autodesk Revit delivers what every engineer and modeller wants: a unified, error-free workflow that enhances quality, shortens design cycles, and improves project profitability.
The collaboration between Hysopt and Autodesk represents a major step forward for the HVAC and BIM industries. Together, they make it possible to bridge the long-standing gap between engineering and modelling — helping professionals deliver better systems, faster, and with full confidence.
