Facility Emissions Inventory Calculator
Preliminary aggregation of user-entered emissions with Title V, PSD, AP-42, HAP, state-rule, and permit-method warnings
Free facility emissions inventory screening calculator. Enter already-calculated emissions from multiple sources (boilers, generators, process equipment, coating lines) and get facility-wide totals for NOx, SO2, VOC, CO, PM10, and PM2.5 in tons per year. The app identifies dominant source rows and local screening flags, but it does not choose emissions methods or determine Title V, PSD, NSR, HAP, GHG, state inventory, or permit applicability.

-
Add Emission Sources
Enter each source by name after deciding which units belong in the same facility inventory. Treat facility-boundary and common-control decisions as permit/source questions, not calculator decisions.
-
Enter Emissions Per Pollutant
For each source, enter annual emissions in tons per year from the accepted method: permit factors, source tests, CEMS, AP-42, material balances, production records, or state inventory instructions.
-
Review Facility Totals
The calculator sums all sources per pollutant and applies local screening labels for the 100 tpy default Title V screen and listed PSD significant-emission-rate screens. These are not applicability decisions.
-
Identify Dominant Sources
The breakdown shows which source contributes the most to each pollutant. Use that as a planning clue before reviewing method quality, controls, permit limits, and agency reporting rules.
Built For
- Environmental managers drafting source lists before state inventory review
- Consultants checking arithmetic in facility-wide emissions worksheets
- Plant engineers identifying which source rows dominate a pollutant total
- Operations staff comparing user-entered emissions against local screening flags
- Corporate teams reviewing preliminary source profiles before qualified compliance review
Assumptions
- User-entered values represent annual emissions in tons per year.
- All entered sources are treated as a single facility boundary for planning only.
- The 100 tpy Title V value is a default screen; lower nonattainment, HAP, source-category, permit, and state thresholds may apply.
Limitations
- Does not calculate emissions from raw inputs - users must provide pre-calculated tpy values.
- Does not include HAP-specific tracking or HAP major source thresholds.
- Does not account for fugitive emissions unless manually entered.
- Does not determine PSD/NSR/NNSR applicability, netting, baseline actual emissions, projected actual emissions, synthetic-minor limits, or PAL treatment.
- State-specific inventory formats and reporting requirements are not addressed.
