History

In 1985, while conducting a graduate HVAC seminar at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Bill Wright entered into a partnership with the Air Conditioning Contractors of America to design software for HVAC Manual J load calculations. As the original technical software partner of ACCA, Wrightsoft Corp became the first HVAC software company to create a computerized version of their Manual J, Manual D, and Manual N calculation methods.

The Air Conditioning Contractors of America and Wrightsoft released the very first Manual J Load calculation software (Right-J) in February 1986.

Wrightsoft Corporation continues to be the leading provider of HVAC design and sales software in North America since 1986. A technology leader for residential, commercial, and educational markets, Wrightsoft offers fully integrated HVAC design, specification, and sales systems that combine suites of software tools with automatically linked capabilities. They are recognized as a strategic partner of ASHRAE and ACCA in the United States, along with HRAI in Canada. Wrightsoft has also recently been awarded Software Innovation Awards through Comfortech, ASHRAE and the Dealer Design Award by the News for its innovative product design.

With over 20+ years in the HVAC software field, Wrightsoft has developed strong partnerships with many industry leaders such as American Standard, Bryant, Carrier, Coleman, Luxaire, Rheem, Roth, Trane, Unico, Uponor, York and Zurn.
