How Hysopt and Autodesk Bring HVAC Simulation and BIM Together for Smarter, Low-Carbon Design

Discover how Hysopt’s integration with Autodesk® Revit® empowers engineering teams to right-size HVAC systems, boost efficiency, and hit decarbonisation targets through simulation-driven design.

In modern building design, aligning HVAC performance with BIM models has become crucial for delivering energy-efficient, low-carbon buildings. Yet too often, design decisions are based on assumptions, outdated sizing methods, or disconnected workflows between engineers and modellers.

The collaboration between Hysopt and Autodesk changes that — creating a unified approach where physics-based HVAC simulation meets intelligent BIM modelling.

From guesswork to evidence-based design

With the Hysopt BIM Syncer, engineering teams can use Hysopt’s cloud-based, physics-based simulation software directly within Autodesk Revit workflows. This integration enables engineers to simulate system performance, validate design decisions, and right-size equipment long before installation.

No more relying on rules of thumb or static spreadsheets. By running accurate hydronic simulations early in the design process, teams can test multiple system configurations, compare energy use and emissions, and make data-driven decisions with confidence.

The result? HVAC systems that are right-sized, cost-effective, and ready to meet decarbonisation targets.

A smarter workflow for engineers and modellers

The integration bridges two worlds that have long worked in isolation.

HVAC engineers can perform detailed hydraulic calculations in Hysopt — flow rates, pipe sizing, system balancing — while BIM modellers refine the spatial layout in Revit.

Through real-time synchronisation between the P&ID and the BIM model, both teams work from a single source of truth.

Every update, validation, and optimisation is automatically mirrored across environments, ensuring that what’s designed, simulated, and delivered all align perfectly.

This smarter workflow reduces failure costs by up to 10%, shortens design cycles, and eliminates hours of manual checking and rework.

Driving decarbonisation with precision

In the race to decarbonise buildings, the margin for error is shrinking. Oversized systems waste energy; undersized systems compromise comfort and performance.

Hysopt’s simulation-driven approach — embedded into Autodesk’s design ecosystem — gives teams the tools to make the right choices early and carry them through every project stage.

By combining accurate simulation, validated data, and BIM-integrated workflows, engineers can confidently design systems that meet both performance and sustainability goals.
