About Us - For HVAC, Plumbing, Gas, Water, Psychrometric, Duct Software
Our Business
All LSmith Software products are created in-house with a Registered Professional Engineer without purchasing software packages from other developers and bundling to create a sellable product. Our software packages always use basic engineering principles to derive results without manipulating or interpreting table data to produce an answer. Materials and other data are stored within the software and normally can be edited by the user for project-specific requirements. Therefore, this allows the programs to obtain exactly the same results that you would obtain manually. Consequently, the output can be quickly and easily verified by hand so that the user can have the utmost confidence and assurance in the program output.
Mission Statement
To provide our customers with quality software in order to reduce design time and allow the designer, engineer, architect, and contractor to focus on the complete system layout and functionality without spending time consulting charts, books, devices, etc. for data needed to design systems and produce complex computations involved. Therefore, LSmith Software is focused on having a project completed at a reduced cost, on time, with a profit, and correct. This is the only reason for creating our software.
