Abstract
A computer may display on a graphical user interface (GUI) a component library including a set of components relating to a compressed air system. The GUI may have a modeling interface for configuring a virtual model using the set of components. The computer may simulate the virtual model to determine one or more optimizations to the compressed air system. The computer may also determine the cost of implementing the compressor system optimization.

- calculating a financial reference based on the analyzed result;
- displaying, with a first portion of a graphical user interface (GUI) on the computer, a visual reference of the analyzed result;
- displaying, with a second portion of the GUI, the financial reference based on the analyzed result of the simulation;
- and
- displaying, with a third portion of the GUI, a schematic model of the virtual compressed air system.
