1. A computing device for a compressed air system comprising:
one or more processors configured with non-transitory computer executable instructions to electronically receive real-time monitoring data regarding the compressed air system; to perform a simulation of a virtual compressed air system that includes a set of components relating to the compressed air system using the real-time monitoring data, and to analyze a result of the simulation based on one or more settings of the virtual compressed air system and one or more settings of the set of components;
a modeling graphical user interface (GUI) for modeling the virtual compressed air system including:
a first portion configured to display a compressed air system component library including a set of components relating to the compressed air system,
a second portion configured to display a modeling interface for constructing the virtual compressed air system using the set of components, and
a third portion configured to display a settings adjustment interface for adjusting at least one of a system setting and a component setting of the virtual compressed air system; and
a feedback graphical user interface (GUI) for communicating simulation results, the feedback GUI including:
a visual results interface configured to show virtual models of the virtual compressed air system,
a financial results interface configured to show operating costs of the simulated virtual compressed air system, and
a system simulation results interface including a visual layout of the simulated virtual compressed air system.
