Goodale HVAC Fieldbook 1.0 build 4 is waiting for Apple review and is not presented as a public download until approval. Core records stay locally on iPhone and iPad, no Goodale Studios account is required, and exports leave the app only when the user chooses a destination through Apple's share sheet.
The Goodale HVAC Fieldbook core journey
Use this sequence to understand the main flow. Individual screens and labels may evolve with updates, but the product goal remains consistent: measure. balance. document.
- Set up the professional workspace: Choose the Technician, Balancer, or Engineer role focus, add company report details, and identify the tools used most often in the field.
- Create and activate the project: Record the customer, site, project number, area, systems, equipment, technicians, scope, instruments, and required test points before measurements begin.
- Run the correct calculation: Choose the field relationship that matches the task, confirm every unit and assumption, enter the measured values, and review the result in context.
- Capture phased evidence: Record initial, adjusted, and final readings with design values, units, tolerances, timestamps, notes, and linked calculation inputs so the result remains reviewable after the technician leaves.
- Resolve, approve, and report: Resolve failed readings and deficiencies, confirm current instrument calibration, complete preparer and reviewer details, capture customer approval, then generate the PDF or CSV closeout package.
How to know the session worked
The workflow succeeds when calculations are technically appropriate, phased readings and tolerances are reviewable, unresolved work is visible, instruments and approvals are documented, and the final handoff explains what was measured without overstating what the app proves.
