Topic:
AMCA International is collaborating with the ASHRAE SSPC 90.1 Committee and its Mechanical Subcommittee and Fan Working Group to develop a fan efficiency requirement in the ANSI/ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1 Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings. The specification is written around ANSI/AMCA 205-12 Energy Efficiency Classification for Fans, and is embodied in a "continuous maintenance proposals" (CMP). The proposal specifies a fan efficiency grade (FEG) 67, and that the fan shall be sized and selected within 15 percentage points of its peak total efficiency. A number of exemptions are granted, including fans with motors <= 5 HP; fan arrays with an aggregate motor HP <= 5 HP; powered roof/wall ventilators; fans installed in equipment bearing certifications for air or energy performance; fans that operate only during emergencies; and fans that are not within the scope of AMCA 205. Status: As of February 20, 2013: Addendum u was approved by the ASHRAE Board of Directors and will be published as part of the 2013 version of ASHRAE 90.1; availability is expected in mid-2013.
