First Steps with LINEAR Building

Learn basic information about the structure and function of LINEAR Building.

LINEAR Building forms the core of the LINEAR software family for the calculation of building loads. Calculate both heat and cooling loads, the latter also dynamically with annual simulation. In the design modules, you cover the calculated building loads directly with manufacturer products as desired and also draw them into any connected CAD.

LINEAR Building can connect to any platform we support: Autodesk AutoCAD, Autodesk Revit and CADinside. In this documentation, the term CAD refers to the currently connected platform.
