What is h2x?

h2x is a building services engineering software platform designed to automate mechanical, plumbing, HVAC, and fire protection system design and calculations. The platform combines interactive drawing tools with engineering calculations so users can develop system layouts and evaluate their performance within the same workspace. Its HVAC design capabilities include heating and cooling load calculations, duct sizing, ventilation layouts, chilled water systems, and hydronic heating design. Plumbing design tools support domestic hot and cold water distribution, sanitary drainage, stormwater management, and gas piping systems. Fire protection features enable engineers to design and size sprinkler networks, hydrant systems, and hose stations. Automated calculations determine pipe and duct dimensions, flow rates, velocities, pressure losses, and equipment duties based on system configurations. The software incorporates engineering calculation methodologies aligned with industry standards, including ASHRAE and CIBSE guidance. When users modify pipework, ductwork, components, or design parameters, h2x updates the associated calculations to reflect the revised layout. Its 3D visualization tools allow engineers to inspect building services systems, identify coordination issues, and review design characteristics using graphical representations. Documentation capabilities include branded PDF drawings, heat load reports, system sizing reports, bills of materials, and exports to AutoCAD and Autodesk Revit. h2x supports engineering consultants, mechanical contractors, plumbing designers, and construction professionals throughout building services design, technical review, cost estimation, and project documentation.

What is DesignSpark Mechanical?

Our mission is to empower engineers by allowing them to rapidly create and modify 3D product designs without the need to become experts in traditional CAD software. We provide an array of free design tools and resources that facilitate the transformation of your most creative concepts into actual products ready for manufacturing. Whether you're looking for a straightforward design tool, detailed technical specifications, or a holistic design ecosystem, our comprehensive suite seamlessly fits into your existing design workflow. You can easily import or save 3D models from various suppliers in the RSDOC format, which enhances your ongoing DesignSpark Mechanical projects and accelerates your design schedule. With just one click, you can instantly generate a Bill of Materials (BoM) and receive quotes that include real-time pricing and stock availability through platforms like RS online and Allied Electronics. This service is made possible through our partnership with TraceParts S.A., a top provider of 3D digital content designed specifically for engineering applications, ensuring you have premier tools to enhance your design skills. By simplifying the design process, we allow engineers to concentrate more on their creative and innovative endeavors while ensuring that they have the resources they need to succeed.
