AirCompare™ vs Tile & Plank Calculator

AirCompare™ reduces home energy consumption and saves you money by providing two smart tools, a ventilation controller and a thermostat controller. Both smart controllers can be used “manually” to give you advice on how to best adjust your ventilation and thermostat. AirCompare™ can also be configured to automatically control your HomeKit-enabled windows, fans and thermostats. The AirCompare™ ventilation controller calculates the energy content of your home’s interior air and compares it to the air outside. If you can get free heating or cooling by just opening your windows, AirCompare™ will make it happen! What if rain is coming? AirCompare™ checks your local weather for current and forecasted rain. You can decide how sensitive AirCompare will be to rain in the forecast. For instance, you might choose to leave your windows closed for the night if the chance of rain in the next 8 hours is 30% or more. The AirCompare™ thermostat controller uses your preferences, combined with an analysis of current conditions, to optimize the setting of your thermostat. AirCompare™ uses current electricity rates (where available) and your local weather forecast, along with your preferences, to calculate the ideal setting at any moment. The optimum setting balances your comfort against the expected cost of heating or cooling. For instance you might choose to tolerate a higher summer temperature when electricity rates are peaking, and enjoy a cooler temperature when electricity is less expensive late at night. You might turn off your A/C if you know a cold front is due soon. AirCompare™ simplifies your life by considering all the data and making these complex decisions for you.

Plan tile and plank jobs with less guesswork. Tile & Plank Calculator helps you measure floors and walls, account for waste, convert totals into box counts, and build estimates that are actually useful when it is time to buy material. Built for real renovation and installation planning, the app goes beyond a basic area calculator. It combines surface measurements, exclusions, layout guidance, optional pricing, and optional grout estimation in one practical workflow. Whether you are working on a bathroom floor, a shower wall, a kitchen tile update, or a plank flooring project, you can move from measurements to clear totals faster. Main features: • Estimate tile and plank projects in one app • Build floor and wall jobs with one or multiple surfaces • Measure rectangles, L-shapes, or manual area inputs • Subtract doors, windows, outlets, cabinets, and custom cutouts • Use built-in waste guidance for common layout patterns • Switch between Fast estimate and More accurate mode where supported • Work in metric or imperial units • Enter imperial measurements with tape-style fractions or decimals • Calculate packaging by coverage per box or units per box • Add optional pricing by unit, box, or area • Estimate grout for tile projects • Start faster with ready-made templates • Save estimates and reopen them later • Search saved estimates by title Practical layout planning built in: Tile & Plank Calculator includes guidance for straight/grid, 1/2 offset, 1/3 offset, diagonal, herringbone, and random stagger patterns where applicable. That makes it easier to choose a realistic waste percentage before you buy tile or plank. Made for real-world estimating: This app is a strong fit for homeowners, remodelers, and prosumer installers who want something more useful than a simple square footage tool, but faster and easier than a heavy design app. It keeps the estimating process focused, reusable, and easy to understand from the first room to the final count. If you need a clear way to estimate tile or plank materials, waste, boxes, optional cost, and optional grout in one place, Tile & Plank Calculator helps you get to a confident answer faster.
