Mc4Suite 2009 contains all features for complete design with no additional software needed. Mc4Suite 2009 uses an AutoCAD platform offering complete compatibility with .dwg file format.s Import pre-existing architectural plans for a quick start. Graphical interface with EnergyPlus, hydronic and thermal system sizing, plumbing design, layout, snow and ice melting system design, radiant heating and cooling systems, heat loss - cooling loads (based on ASHRAE standards), hydraulic calculation for fire protection systems (based on NFPA standards, and 3-D mechanical room design. Solar BIM, solar water heating system design. Commercial or residential. New or retrofit construction. Produces complete calculation reports on all systems, system simulation and bill of materials. Pre- stocked, customizable library of components included. Can be used for project design of the following systems: fire sprinkler, duct, pipe, boiler room, solar water heating, radiant heat and cooling, energy analysis, and mechanical room design.
