MacroAir launches AirViz Heavy for airflow simulation

MacroAir has launched AirViz Heavy, a CFD-powered platform that turns facility layouts into 3D airflow simulations in minutes. The tool is now available through MacroAir and its certified dealer network to help customers and dealers speed proposals and improve confidence in fan placement.

Why it matters: - AirViz Heavy gives MacroAir customers and dealers a faster way to evaluate airflow, comfort, and fan placement without traditional engineering software. - The platform is designed to support plan-and-spec sales, shorten proposal cycles, and produce presentation-ready reports for facility projects.

What happened: - MacroAir launched AirViz Heavy, a new CFD-powered simulation platform for detailed airflow analysis. - The platform is available now through MacroAir directly and through MacroAir’s network of certified dealers. - Customers work with a certified AirViz user to upload an existing floor plan or build a new layout, place MacroAir fans, and generate a report.

The details: - AirViz Heavy turns a customer facility into a full 3D airflow simulation. - Each report includes 3D airflow modeling that accounts for obstructions in the space. - Reports include airflow and perceived-cooling heat maps. - Reports include comfort analysis based on published thermal comfort standards. - Reports show airflow coverage across the occupied space. - Reports include 3D airflow streamlines. - Reports include a methodology summary that traces fan data back to AMCA-certified test results. - MacroAir says the platform uses the ASHRAE 55-2020 §5.3.3 cooling-effect standard to build an actual perceived-cooling map for the facility. - MacroAir says the platform is built on AMCA-certified data with no hidden tuning behind the scenes. - MacroAir says no project-specific adjustments are applied in the methodology. - Each report is designed to be ready for customer presentations. - AirViz Heavy is available through a new dealer portal for authorized MacroAir dealers. - Interested customers and dealers are encouraged to apply for an account.

Between the lines: - The launch reframes CFD analysis from a specialist engineering workflow into a sales tool that can be used earlier in the customer conversation. - MacroAir is pairing technical validation with a simplified buying process, which could help fans move from specification to purchase faster. - The emphasis on transparency and certified data suggests MacroAir is trying to reduce skepticism around airflow modeling outputs.

What's next: - Customers and dealers can begin using AirViz Heavy immediately through MacroAir or authorized dealers. - MacroAir is directing prospective users to apply for access through the dealer portal. - The company is positioning the platform as part of its broader effort to support more plan-and-spec opportunities.
