System Sizing - MCS Heating Design Tool
System Sizing Icon

System Sizing

Design your system layout with our drag-and-drop features. Connect equipment (e.g. heat pump) and components (e.g. heat emitters) to visualise the entire setup.

CIBSE-verified calculations are automated and all systems are accurately sized with valuable insights like system volume and index length.

Reports Icon

Reports

Generate comprehensive MCS-aligned heat loss reports branded with your logo.

The reports include room-by-room heat loss, emitter summaries, heat pump systems performance, domestic hot water energy usage, and costs, giving you and your clients a clear overview of the project’s performance.

CASE STUDIES
Award-Winning Heating Design

"Using h2x was pivotal, allowing for precise heat loss calculations, pipe sizing and flow rates for each room.

This level of detail ensured that the heating load accurately matched each space's requirements, minimising energy waste and maximising comfort.

The strategic placement of heat pumps and careful sizing of pipework were crucial in maintaining minimal pressure drops over an 18-metre distance."

CASE STUDIES
Greengate, UK

"I would estimate over the length of this project, I have spent 50% less time designing than I would on our previous software.

The ability to output the design straight into Revit assisted clash detection and coordination."

CASE STUDIES
Salon Republic, USA

"The quality of the designs saw significant improvement with the adoption of h2x."

"The software offers precision through detailed result outputs and advanced options for efficient pipe sizing, allowing heating engineers to optimise based on parameters like maximum velocity and pressure drop."
