Dear Colleagues,

We've developed a lightweight web tool for calculating the net storage capacity of an existing cold room from its installed shelving, and we'd value critique from this community before we take it further.

The gap we're trying to fill

The established tools — the WHO Vaccine Volume Calculator, the Immunization Supply Chain Sizing Tool, the UNICEF Cold Chain Weight & Volume Calculator, and the EVM Assistant — all run from demand to required capacity. In practice, the harder half of a capacity gap analysis is often the supply side: establishing what a given room already holds, room by room, with the shelving physically present in it. That work is still typically done in spreadsheets, transcribed from field notes.

What the tool does

• Room-level inputs: facility, room description, length, width, height (cm)
• Per shelf unit: shelf width, shelf length, number of shelves, shelf thickness, floor-to-bottom clearance, floor-to-top-shelf height
• Outputs: gross room...
