Why We Chose 100% Client‑Side Computation for Engineering Calculators

说明与用途

在HVACLogic中采用客户端计算消除了延迟，去除了服务器依赖，并保护了数据，使工程师能够在现场即时完成计算。

问题

Engineering calculators traditionally rely on serverless APIs, databases, and user authentication, causing latency, privacy risks, and maintenance overhead on job sites.

结果

Client‑side computation reduces latency to <0.5 ms, eliminates privacy concerns, and removes database maintenance, enabling reliable use on remote job sites.

工作流

• 1. Identify deterministic formulas (e.g., heat transfer, cooling capacity).
• 2. Implement each formula as a pure TypeScript function with no side effects.
• 3. Expose inputs via a UI that serializes state to the URL for shareability.
• 4. Execute calculations client‑side, rendering results instantly.
• 5. Store no data on a server; no authentication required.
• 6. Deploy the static web app to a CDN for global availability.

证据

Pure TypeScript functions outperform cloud APIs on mechanical job sites.
