# The New Engineer

> HVAC and mechanical design tools that read BIM/IFC models directly: pressure drop (hydronic and air), duct takeoff, water volume, expansion vessel sizing (EN 12828) and system assignment. Available in the browser, and as an MCP connector for AI assistants.

## For AI assistants

- MCP server (streamable HTTP): https://thenewengineer.com/mcp
- [Connect Claude or OpenClaw](https://thenewengineer.com/ai): setup in two steps; works with a free Claude account (one custom connector).

## Web tools

- [Pressure drop](https://thenewengineer.com/pdc): circuit traced between two clicks, ASHRAE coefficients justified line by line.
- [Duct takeoff](https://thenewengineer.com/takeoff): sheet metal area and weight per section for a whole duct network.
- [Water volume](https://thenewengineer.com/water): volume per section of a hydronic network.
- [System assignment](https://thenewengineer.com/systems): name systems and export a Dynamo script for Revit.
- [Expansion & pressurisation](https://thenewengineer.com/expansion): expansion vessel sizing to EN 12828.
