LoopCAD

The software enables the quick production of high-quality circuit layout drawings for radiant heating systems.

Automatically performs calculations for both heating and cooling requirements.

Calculates critical data for radiant system design, such as flow rates and head losses.

Fully supports the design of snowmelt systems, including area drawing, circuit generation, and load calculations based on ASHRAE methods.

Generates three-dimensional representations of the building from the 2D drawing to aid in design validation and communication.

Works with custom OEM Editions to incorporate manufacturer-specific design data and generate materials lists.

Provides calculations that are approved by ACCA for Manual J (8th Edition) residential heating and cooling loads.

Is verified for accurate residential heating and cooling load calculations based on the CSA F280-12 standard.

Allows for the creation of floorplan drawings using predefined objects (rooms, doors, windows).

Supports importing existing drawings from AutoCAD, PDF, or JPG formats to use as a template.

Uses predefined rooms, doors, windows, and other objects for fast drawing.

Allows rooms to be resized easily by dragging walls or corners.

Rooms can be easily docked together to create complex floor plans.

Room shapes can be quickly edited to create complex geometries.

Provides freehand drawing tools for creating complex shapes or custom circuits.

Automatically designs and draws heating circuits for rooms.

Circuits are automatically designed around obstructions like stairs, cabinets, or kitchen islands.

Allows users to easily change the pattern type, rotation, number of circuits, or tube spacing options.

A powerful tool for quickly selecting the best circuit pattern for a design.

Allows users to manually draw the exact circuits desired for complex geometries.
