# LeakRate — EPA Compliance App for HVAC/R Technicians

> LeakRate automates refrigerant leak rate calculations, service event logging, and audit-proof PDF report generation for HVAC/R professionals under EPA Section 608 and the AIM Act.

## What LeakRate Does

LeakRate is a mobile app (iOS & Android) and web dashboard for HVAC/R technicians, service managers, and company owners who need to comply with EPA refrigerant regulations.

- **Leak Rate Calculator**: Uses the official EPA annualized formula — (lbs added / full charge) x (365 / days) x 100%
- **Service Event Logging**: Record refrigerant additions, recoveries, and repairs on-site with photo capture, GPS, and digital signatures
- **PDF Compliance Reports**: One-tap generation of audit-proof reports that meet EPA record-keeping requirements
- **Equipment & Customer Management**: Track HVAC/R systems by type, refrigerant, full charge capacity, and compliance status
- **Offline-First**: Works without cell signal in basements, mechanical rooms, and rooftops — syncs when reconnected
- **Team Management**: Owners assign technicians to customers, track activity, and manage fleet compliance from a web dashboard
