Brief Overview

MeMate HVAC turns your computer into a well-trained associate, knowledgeable, productive, sharp, and meticulous. Now you can free yourself from routine procedures and put the pressure on your newly hired "associate". No mistakes will be made on its side.

A simple, streamlined, dialogue-like interface with the computer allows you to design and estimate the job from scratch - in no time!

---

• Heating and Cooling Load Calculations

  • The load is calculated by ASHRAE approved CLTD method. The number of rooms, walls, windows is unlimited. In the beginning, simply tell the computer few general facts about the building and point to the exterior walls, windows, and fins. Then mark rooms by pointing to the corners of the rooms and specify the internal heat gain sources. Save time on area take-off and redundant data entry. While calculating the load, MeMate will obtain the location and characteristics of building components and rooms right from the drawing.

• Air Distribution Devices

  • Pick desired type of an air distribution device from a variety of devices. Then specify design airflow and point to the device location. The rest is done in a split of a second. The computer selects the size of the device and puts the symbol, arrows, size and airflow tags in the drawing.

• Air Terminal Units

  • Choose Variable Air Volume Box, Fan-Coil Unit or Water Source Heat Pump. Simply pick in the drawing the rooms or spaces to be serviced by the unit and point to desired unit location. The computer determines the required capacity of the unit by gathering the results of room load calculations and places unit's symbol in the drawing.

• Ductwork Design

  • Traditionally cumbersome and time consuming, this task becomes a breeze with MeMate HVAC. Use provided convenient tools to develop a single-line layout of ductwork system. Start the system from air terminal unit, riser, or identify any point on the plan as a point of connection. Specify few design criteria and let the computer take the heat. MeMate HVAC sizes the ducts to fit in available space and converts a single-line layout into precisely drawn ductwork with fittings, flexible ducts, and accessories. The process of calculation and conversion of the most complex ductwork system is a matter of seconds. See your system instantly. Take the advantage of speed and ease of ductwork design. Get quick material take-off and the total weight of the designed ductwork. Try other alternatives of ductwork layout. Re-design is as simple as the original design. Develop new ductwork system and compare the take-offs. With MeMate HVAC, you can design the most cost-effective system before your competitor turns the disk of his ductulator.

• Piping Design

  • Similarly to ductwork design, your task is to develop a layout of the piping system using MeMate tools. The computer automatically produces the layout of return piping for direct- return systems. Specify piping material and criteria for pipe sizing, and the computer will calculate required water flow, size the pipes, put fittings and dielectric isolators where needed.

• Material Take-off

  • Get instantly a precise Bill of Materials. Everything you put in the drawing with MeMate HVAC will be counted, sorted, and output conveniently. What you've designed is what you get. In addition to complete list of ducts with total length for each duct size, MeMate HVAC outputs a summary of rigid ductwork. It gives you the square footage and weight of the straight ducts and fittings with break-down by gauges.

• Cost Estimate

  • With customizeable price database, MeMate will give you the estimated cost of your project.

• Full Metric System Support

  • You may choose to work in Metric System with input and output in SI units. You may also convert your drawing from I-P to SI and vice versa with a simple click of a button.
