Notes
Foundational report on
energy efficiency
opportunities for fans
in industrial systems.
Over 380 pages. See
Tables E-2, E-6; Figures
1-2, 1-3, 1-4, Table 2-8,
Selected pages from the
Document 0. Pages are
numbered based on
publication in a
conference
proceedings, so they
start at 617. Important
pages are 620, 623,
626, 628.
Analysis of industrial
energy efficiency rebate
programs. Important
pages are 736-738.
Industrial fan-efficiency
opportunities.
Important pages 1-6.

Table 5 shows
“adoption date” of the
fed std in 2015;
effective 2020. Tables
7-10 have estimated
energy, cost , and
emissions savings from
DOE regulations for
commercial / industrial
fans and blowers. See
Fans and Blowers
section beginning PDF
page 48: “We assumed
that cost-effective
energy savings of 10%
were possible for
centrifugal fans, and
56% for axial fans.”
Detailed analysis of
commercial HVAC
Energy Consumption,
with strong language
and statistics on fan
energy, PDF Pages 1012. Again on PDF pages
68-74. Also, see PDF
Page 78: Energy use of
fans is significantly
affected by system
design practice,
installation procedures,
whether the system is
properly commissioned,
and whether the system
receives proper
maintenance…, it is
clear that A&E firms,
installers, and
users have a significant
impact on system
energy use.
Fan market study in
Europe performed as
background
information to
regulators for what
became the European
Commission fanefficiency regulation
taking effect Jan. 2013.
