Sketch Your Cold Room In Minutes
An easier way to design your cold room
Why I Built SupaCAD
A personal journey of solving real problems in cold room design
As a refrigeration person, I always wonder what if I could sketch and calculate heat load in one go? I knew there had to be a better way. A way to combine sketching and calculation into one seamless experience. That's why I built SupaCAD - to give people like me the tools we actually need, in a way that makes sense.
I am AutoCAD user for almost 20 years, have been jumping between AutoCAD and Excel for calculations and design. It would be a nightmare when clients request changes to the design, and I need to go through the loop again and again.
Today, SupaCAD is the platform I wished I had when I started.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about SupaCAD
SupaCAD is a specialized cold room design software that combines sketching and heat load calculation into one seamless platform. Built by a refrigeration engineer with 20 years of AutoCAD experience, SupaCAD eliminates the need to jump between multiple tools. It's designed specifically for refrigeration professionals who want to sketch their cold room designs, configure evaporators and doors, and automatically calculate heat loads—all while generating professional 3D models in one place.
SupaCAD simplifies the cold room design process into three main steps: First, sketch your cold room layout using our intuitive drawing tools. Second, configure your design by adding and positioning evaporators, doors, and other elements. Third, SupaCAD automatically calculates the heat load based on your design parameters. The platform handles all the complex calculations behind the scenes, so you can focus on designing rather than switching between AutoCAD and Excel spreadsheets.
Yes, SupaCAD is specifically designed to replace the traditional AutoCAD + Excel workflow for cold room design. While AutoCAD excels at general CAD work, SupaCAD is purpose-built for refrigeration engineering. It combines the sketching capabilities you need with automatic heat load calculations and 3D visualization—features that require manual work and multiple tools in a traditional AutoCAD workflow. For cold room design specifically, SupaCAD offers a more efficient and integrated solution.
SupaCAD automatically calculates heat load based on your cold room design. Once you've sketched your room dimensions, specified wall thicknesses, selected insulation materials, and configured your operating conditions (temperature, product load, etc.), the platform runs comprehensive heat load calculations in real-time. This includes transmission loads, infiltration loads, product loads, and internal heat gains. The calculations happen automatically as you design, eliminating the need for manual Excel calculations and reducing errors from transferring data between tools.
Yes! SupaCAD can generate beautiful 3D models of your cold room design. Once you've completed your sketch and configuration, you can visualize your cold room in three dimensions, including evaporators, doors, partitions, and all structural elements. These 3D models are perfect for sharing with clients, helping them visualize the final design before construction begins. The 3D visualization makes it easier to spot potential issues and communicate design intent effectively.
