ComfortLoad Designer | U.S. national setup

Takeoff & Load-Calc Handoff Builder

Not signed in
Browser save active Cloud project storage is ready for the next backend binding step.
MVP scope: ComfortLoad Designer prepares takeoff data, documents assumptions, and packages a load-calc handoff. It does not replace professional HVAC design review or approved load calculation software.
National setup: Start with the project state, county, jurisdiction, adopted code path, and licensed design-temperature source. Company market presets can be saved for reuse, but ComfortLoad is built for U.S.-wide projects. Final code, permit, and design requirements must be verified against the local authority having jurisdiction.

Ready now

Import scan files

Attach RoomPlan exports, point clouds, 3D models, scan ZIP files, and field photos to the same project folder as the builder PDF.

Mobile app step

Live LiDAR scanning

Direct scanning from an iPhone or iPad needs a native mobile app layer. This screen is the project-side home for that data.

HVAC checks

Use scan data for

Ceiling heights, vaulted rooms, room volume, window and door checks, exterior walk-through photos, and plan-to-field comparison.

Mobile scan checklist

Current LiDAR status: ComfortLoad can store LiDAR/mobile scan exports in the project now. Direct live phone scanning is not built yet; that comes with the future native mobile capture app.

Site Image Measuring

Use an address, aerial image, or uploaded site photo to trace the outside of the home.

What this should calculate

Map licensing: A production app should use Google Maps Platform, Apple MapKit, or another licensed imagery provider. Screenshots copied from Google Earth should not be treated as a reusable data source without checking licensing.

Plan Viewer

Upload a builder plan, calibrate scale, then trace a room or wall. This is the first real takeoff milestone.

Plan Pages Upload a PDF to see page thumbnails.
Upload a builder PDF or plan image Then click two known points to calibrate scale.

Build a program-path documentation packet from weather, envelope, infiltration, ventilation, equipment, and reviewer evidence.

Assembly Defaults Library

Save and load company-approved envelope defaults by program path and climate zone for Manual J V1 review.

Using built-in review defaults until a company library is loaded.

Select a program path and climate band to review default values.

Review Inputs

The CRM should not hide assumptions. Every load input needs a status before final export.

LiDAR use: When a scan is uploaded, the CRM should compare it against the PDF plan and use it to confirm room dimensions, ceiling heights, vaulted areas, window/door locations, and building volume. Any mismatch should stay flagged for review.
Input Value Status Source

Manual J Engine V1

Calculate block and room-by-room validation loads with transparent worksheet output and reference-software comparison.

Validation mode: Manual J Engine V1 is built for internal beta comparison against approved software. Do not use it as a final standalone load calculation until the 10-20 job validation set, legal/code review, and manager approval gates are complete.

Formula Audit Gate

Proves each Manual J V1 load category has worksheet evidence, input flags, and reference-review status before manager approval.

Calculation Run Cloud History

Save each Manual J V1 run as auditable company evidence for reference-software comparison, tuning, and manager review.

Run the engine, then save the calculation record to project cloud history.

Equipment Selection & Sizing Guardrails

Track AHRI/submittal data and compare selected equipment against Manual J V1 output before beta review.

Air Distribution & Register Planner V1

Convert room-by-room Manual J CFM into a reviewable supply-register and return-path planning schedule.

Manual D Helper V1

Build a review worksheet for available static, friction rate, and starting duct sizes from the room CFM plan.

Real Validation Run

Use this lane to run one actual house plan through upload, calibration, takeoff, engine output, reference comparison, company validation storage, and export review.

Wrightsoft / CoolCalc Cross-Check

Enter reference software results, then ComfortLoad flags variance outside tolerance.

Reference report parser queue

Paste copied text from a Wrightsoft, CoolCalc, or reviewed reference report. ComfortLoad will stage likely block totals, room rows, category rows, and assumptions before you apply them.

Reference parser/evidence state is local until synced.

Reference assumptions comparison

Enter the assumptions used in Wrightsoft, CoolCalc, or another approved run so ComfortLoad can separate math variance from setup mismatch.

Real Job Validation Set

Save real projects here after running the same house in approved reference software. ComfortLoad uses this set to prove variance, tune factors, and keep final reports locked until enough jobs are reviewed.

Batch Import Reference Jobs

Paste completed ComfortLoad vs Wrightsoft/CoolCalc comparison rows to grow the 10-20 real-job validation set faster.

No validation import preview yet.

Formula Tuning Factors

Use these only after comparing real jobs against approved software. Every tuned factor is exported for reviewer audit.

Duct Review Center
