Compressed air savings calculator

Compressed air is the most expensive utility per unit of work. Enter compressor horsepower, load factor and leak rate to price the loss.

This section will contain

  • Inputs (§G.1): compressor hp · load factor · leak % · $/kWh.
  • UX: simple first (2–3 inputs → estimate), then an optional Refine step.
  • The result is a data-viz moment, not form output: a §E widget with the money figure large and tabular.
  • Export as image or CSV. The emailed PDF report is the gated artefact; the on-page result stays free and crawlable.

Conservative arithmetic, verified against your own utility bills. Your number comes from your own meters.

This section will contain

  • Constants come from src/data/benchmarks.json. Nothing is hard-coded in a component.

Every constant used here renders with its source inline, in the c11-run-the-numbers footnote style (§G.1).

Where these numbers come from

This section will contain

  • air.kwPerHp — 0.746 kW/hp. Physical constant.
  • air.leakShare — 0.2,0.3 fraction of output. [TOM-REVIEW] US DOE / Compressed Air Challenge leakage studies, as cited in Quantify's own concept footnote.
  • air.compressorHoursTypical — 6000 h/year. [TOM-REVIEW] Quantify's own teleprompter example.
  • electricity.blendedRate — 0.12 $/kWh. [TOM-REVIEW] Ontario Class B blended rate as used in Quantify's own teleprompter ('6,000 hours a year at $0.12/kWh') and concept footnotes. VERIFY against the current IESO/OEB Class B blended rate.
