Kwik Model 3D provides software that lets users create detailed 3D models of residential houses without needing CAD expertise. Its product line includes KM3D EAGLE, which integrates ACCA‑approved Manual J load calculations and HVAC equipment selection, and KM3D KESTREL, which supports room‑by‑room load data from other calculators, with a forthcoming KM3D CONDOR for California Title 24 compliance.

Problem
Residential HVAC designers and energy modelers often need to create detailed 3D house models and perform load calculations, but traditional CAD tools require specialized training and separate software for load analysis and duct design, leading to fragmented workflows and longer project times.
Solution
Kwik Model 3D offers a desktop application that lets users generate accurate 3D house models without any CAD experience. The platform combines visual modeling with built‑in HVAC design utilities, including ACCA‑approved Manual J load calculations (via EnergyGauge Loads) and automated duct sizing. Different product tiers let users either run the full load‑calc and equipment selection suite (EAGLE) or import room‑by‑room load data from other calculators (KESTREL), while a forthcoming version (CONDOR) will focus on California Title 24 compliance. All tools operate within a single interface, streamlining the design and energy‑modeling process from concept to final specifications.
Target Audience
Primary users are residential HVAC designers, energy modelers, and contractors who need a fast, unified solution for house modeling, load calculation, and duct design.
Features
- Intuitive 3D house modeling environment that requires no CAD software or expertise
- Integrated ACCA‑approved Manual J load calculations using EnergyGauge Loads (EAGLE version)
- Automated duct design and sizing directly linked to load results
- Ability to import external room‑by‑room load data for flexible workflow (KESTREL version)
- Planned Title 24, Part 6 compliance module for California energy code (CONDOR)
- Single‑license package that bundles modeling, load analysis, and equipment selection tools
