Imagine an HVAC engineer tasked with designing a multi-zone control system for a medium-sized commercial building \u2014 combining heating, cooling, domestic hot water, and air-handling units, all with high energy-efficiency targets.
In a traditional setup, this would require hours of coding, testing, and manual documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With CosterCAD<\/strong>, part of the CosterTools Suite<\/strong>, the entire process becomes visual, intuitive, and faster to deploy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The engineer starts with an empty workspace and selects predefined logic blocks from the extensive Coster library. Result:<\/strong> a fully functional control diagram built in minutes \u2014 no code, no syntax errors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once the base logic is complete, the engineer adjusts parameters for each zone, adapting setpoints, schedules, and prioritisation rules. Result:<\/strong> a bespoke control solution aligned with the project\u2019s energy strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With one click, CosterCAD generates all the technical documentation required for commissioning and maintenance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n All documents are automatically updated as changes are made, ensuring alignment between design and implementation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Result:<\/strong> consistent, professional documentation ready for the client and the installation team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The engineer integrates field devices and sensors \u2014 temperature probes, flow meters, CO\u2082 sensors, and wireless transmitters \u2014 through multiple communication protocols such as 1-Wire, Resistive (T5 \/ PT1000 \/ NTC), Modbus, and LoRa. Result:<\/strong> seamless integration and validation before any hardware is installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n CosterCAD incorporates energy-optimisation algorithms refined over 50 years of Coster Group experience. Result:<\/strong> a smarter plant that consumes less, performs better, and meets sustainability goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With CosterCAD<\/strong>, system integrators, installers, and engineers can design, document, and deploy complete HVAC control systems with confidence.Step 1 \u2013 Visual Design with Ready-to-Use Modules<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Modules for boilers, chillers, valves, pumps, and sensors are dragged and connected visually, creating the control sequence directly on screen.
Every connection is validated in real time, allowing the designer to check system behaviour immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\nStep 2 \u2013 Customisation for Building Requirements<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
CosterCAD allows every block to be fine-tuned for site-specific needs, ensuring the system meets the comfort and performance goals defined in the design phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\nStep 3 \u2013 Automatic Documentation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Step 4 \u2013 Integration and Validation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The system is then tested virtually to confirm signal integrity and response times.<\/p>\n\n\n\nStep 5 \u2013 Efficiency through Proven Algorithms<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
These algorithms automatically manage setpoint adaptation, demand-driven operation, and seasonal switching, ensuring maximum comfort with minimal energy use.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFrom Design to Delivery: Faster, Smarter, Better<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
