Carrier

Carrier Global Corporation, a century-old pioneer in heating, ventilation, air-conditioning and refrigeration (HVAC-R), equips consulting engineers, facility managers and mechanical contractors with a tightly focused suite of desktop design tools that compress complex building physics into fast, auditable workflows. Block Load and System Design Load deliver ASHRAE-compliant peak heating and cooling calculations for single zones or entire plants, while the Hourly Analysis Program extends the same engine into full-year energy models that reveal how weather variability, occupancy patterns and tariff structures affect utility bills and carbon output. When early-stage schemes must be compared quickly, Building System Optimizer runs thousands of equipment permutations against first-cost, energy-use and maintenance data to rank rooftop, chiller or VRF configurations in minutes. Once a chilled-water architecture is chosen, Carrier PLV Pro refines the selection by mapping part-load efficiency to local weather and utility rates, yielding accurate IPLV or NPLV metrics for utility-rebate paperwork. Refrigerant Piping Design complements the mechanical roster by sizing suction, discharge and liquid lines to minimize pressure drop and oil return, and Engineering Economic Analysis wraps the process in lifecycle costing so owners can weigh energy savings against incremental capital outlay. All seven applications share a common engineering database, export to popular CAD and BIM platforms, and generate code-compliant reports accepted across North America. The publisher’s software is available for free on get.nero.com, where downloads are delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always installing the latest releases and permitting batch installation of multiple programs.
