MEP design standards and MagiCAD
Standards govern the quality, performance, safety, and sustainability of MEP systems. MagiCAD is localised to meet the calculation and design requirements of the local MEP industry. You can view the currently supported standards and other calculation options in MagiCAD below.

Design according to local standards
Standardization is essential to ensuring the compliance of MEP systems with local regulations. Calculation standards provide MEP designers a consistent framework for sizing equipment, estimating loads, and optimizing system performance.
See the supported standards and other calculation options in MagiCAD below. And if your local standard is not included, contact us and let us know what is needed.
Standardisation is an invaluable part of ensuring the quality of MEP design work
