ScanPlan: HVAC Load & Ducts

ScanPlan HVAC — LiDAR Scanning, Manual J Loads, and Equipment Sizing for HVAC Pros ScanPlan HVAC turns an iPhone or iPad LiDAR scan into a complete residential HVAC design package — room geometry, heating and cooling loads, equipment sizing, energy analysis, and a shareable client report, all in one app. Built for HVAC contractors, energy auditors, and sales reps, with a simplified mode for homeowners exploring a heat pump upgrade. Scan, Don't Measure • Walk through a home with LiDAR and capture room dimensions, walls, windows, and doors in 3D — no tape measure required. • Automatically detect and split rooms from a single scan, or place windows, doors, and skylights manually on a 2D floor plan. • Start a project instead from an existing floor plan or heat-loss report — AI reads the PDF or photo and builds your rooms automatically. • Organize multi-story homes by floor level, each with its own ceiling and foundation defaults. Accurate Load Calculations • Room-by-room and whole-building heating and cooling loads, powered by the Ross Energy Performance Model. • Design conditions pulled automatically from local weather data for your project's exact address, with IECC climate zone shown separately as a clear fallback estimate. • Blower-door test (CFM50) or natural infiltration modeling, humidity and latent load tracking, and dehumidifier sizing. Size the Right Equipment • Heat pumps: Mitsubishi M-Series and Ecodan air-to-water, Viessmann Vitocal monobloc, Gradient window units, and GeoStar geothermal — sized against your actual loads and manufacturer performance curves, not generic estimates. • Domestic hot water systems, hydronic panel radiators, condensing boilers with outdoor reset, gas piping (natural gas and propane, longest-length method), and residential duct sizing with AR duct measurement. • Track existing installed equipment — scan a nameplate with the camera and let AI log the model and specs. Know the Energy Impact • Building Energy Intelligence models multi-year energy use and cost from real historical weather, with a Comfort Performance dashboard scoring humidity and temperature control room by room. • Compare existing equipment against proposed upgrades: operating cost, ROI and payback period, and side-by-side efficiency ratings. • Energy Savings Lab lets you test what-if upgrades — insulation, air sealing, new equipment — in a sandbox that never changes your saved project. Rebates and Financing • Find federal, state, and utility heat-pump rebates and financing options for the project's address, and auto-fill state rebate claim forms. • Generate polished, shareable PDF reports for every analysis — load calculations, equipment selection, energy savings, and more. • Export and share full projects — including 3D scans — with clients or other ScanPlan users. AI Assistance, Built In ScanPlan AI answers technical questions from manufacturer documentation, reads equipment nameplates and spec sheets, imports floor plans and heat-loss reports, and helps classify existing equipment — all from within your project. **AI-Powered Manual J® Report Import** Import existing Manual J reports using AI to extract heating and cooling load data for use within ScanPlanHVAC. ScanPlanHVAC is not ACCA-approved Manual J calculation software. Whether you're a contractor sizing a replacement system, an auditor documenting a retrofit, or a homeowner deciding on a heat pump, ScanPlan HVAC replaces guesswork and rules-of-thumb with real building data.
