Course Description:

Motors are responsible for more than 60% of the energy consumed in commercial buildings and manufacturing facilities. Understanding and optimizing fan and pumping systems will provide significant opportunities in reducing energy costs. Do you know:

• The cost to run a fully loaded 20 hp fan motor for one year?
• The difference between optimizing a component verses optimizing a system?
• Why use a variable frequency drive (VFD)?
• How to determine when purchasing a new motor is more energy cost effective than rewinding an existing motor?
• What types of cash incentives are available from Focus on Energy associated with fans and pumping systems?
• This course will answer these questions! Subjects that will be covered:
• Major components (motors, fans pumps, VFD)
• Terminology (psi, head, system curves, affinity laws, KPI)
• Using thumb-rules to estimate energy cost savings
• System optimization
• Cost reduction strategies
• Case studies

Who should attend: Maintenance Personnel, Energy Personnel, Managers & Directors, Facility Managers, Plant and Facility Staff, Manufacturing and Processing Personnel, HVAC Engineers and Designers, Building Operators, Utility Managers, Procurement Personnel, Environment, Health & Safety Professionals
