MEP calculations
that reference the standard

Replace spreadsheets with traceable calculations. Cable sizing, duct sizing, HVAC loads, pipe sizing, drainage, refrigeration, every result linked to BS 7671, CIBSE, ASHRAE or BS EN standards.

Spreadsheet chaos

Three filenames, three different cable sizes. Only one ends up on the drawing, and you can't always tell which is right.

Which edition is current?

Source uncertainty

A value lands in your spec from somewhere. Which edition of the standard? Whose template? Three years on, nobody knows.

Audit trail is blank

Auditors ask: what standard, what assumption, what date. Spreadsheets don't record any of it. You can't prove your work.

MEPCalc replaces the spreadsheet.

Every calculation traceable to the standard. Every result auditable. Every assumption visible.
