2 Fan Energy Efficiency Regulation Department of Energy California ASHRAE 90.1 Lee Buddrus President Acme Engineering & Manufacturing Corporation

3 My Background Founded/10 years- Air Movement Code Action Review Committee- Chairman one of four on AMCA/DOE team

4 FEG/BEP Metric -- IECC

5 THREE MAJOR METRICS BEP - Best Efficiency Point Several BEP metrics -- FEG/FMEG/3pt BEP FEI/FEP Performance Based CFM/WATT at SP- Agriculture

6 FEG Best Efficiency Point Metric FEG-Fan Efficiency Grade ASHRAE / AMCA Similar to FEG-Europe/ISO & Asia Simple-One Point for fan model, e.g., 75%

7 Best Efficiency Point 15 points Source: AMCA Standard

8 AMCA Certified Data Tied to existing AMCA Standards for performance

9 New AMCA Labels

10 Compliance Compliance required by fan Manufacturer Burdens Manufacturer with improving fan efficiency

11 Enforcement Visual Field inspection Label Enforcement Agency can purchase product in Marketplace and test

12 How will it affect my ability to choose fans?

13 Fan Selection with FEGs Fan Size (in.) Fan Speed (rpm) Fan Power (bhp) Actual Static Eff Actual Total Eff Peak Total Eff Eff Diff FEG % 59% 79% % 69% 79% % 76% 79% % 82% 83% % 83% 83% 0 85

14 FEG Impact Will eliminate or cause redesign of fans which are below Minimum Threshold 5% of product on market Mostly Fan Sizes No impact customers, some impact Fan Manufactures

15 3 Point BEP metric DOE first Notice of Data Availability (NODA) 2014 What is now regulation for other equipment in other industries with many operating points PUMPS, Compressors

16 Average 3 points Peak, 110% cfm, 115% cfm

17 A New and Different Efficiency Metric FEI Fan Energy Index Ratio of FEP Fan Electrical Power FEI= FEP std / FEI i > 1 Std=ref i=design operating pt

18 FEI

19 How will this impact me?

20 FEI - Impact Will force you to select only where FEI allows Change Printed/Electronic Buy a larger fan Unfair to Prop Fans SP vs TP, cows in a barn

21 Problems with FEI Multiple Points ECM, VFD No operating Point-rehab, distribution Embedded Product-AC/Heat Europe & Asia The Most Complex Metric Customer Required Not Manufacturer Enforcement Two Step

22 Apply Concept to All Get rid of EPA Miles per gallon, Control Car Operation Get rid of SEER, Control HVAC Equipment Operation

23 CFM/WATT at SP Best of Breed Output CFM at an SP Input Watts Includes Appurtenances Dampers, Guards, etc.

24 Bess Labs U of Illinois

25 1000 HP Some Jobs 750 Fans

26 Problems with CFM/W Too many motors Too many appurtenances Too many operating points Ag Market Very Narrow Test All Day in Commercial But could implement in Horticultural Market

27 REGULATION 2011 DOE Jumps In Will supersede codes and standards Regulates 40 industries Has Issued 3 NODAs, Dec. 2014, April 2015 Last NODA Notice of Data Availability November 1, 2016

28 Navigant-Chicago Analysis of impact Visit Manufacturers

30 AMCA s Comments Started DOE to Reset Opened Negotiations to Public AMCA argued for FEI DOE announced FEI November 1, 2016 NODA

31 Why Change? Of Course a Better Metric Original Law Regulates Manufacturer All 40 Rulings the Same Way YOU ARE REGULATED!!!!! CUSTOMER REGULATED

32 November 1 to 8, 2016 Regulation Shelved DOE Not Proceeding at this time Nothing happening with DOE

33 California Pick up where DOE left off Several Proposals In Investigation Stage Supposed to make a decision this month

34 2 nd & 3 rd Generation Codes/Standards ASHRAE 90.1 Codes AMCA pursuing Just Saturday mechancial subcomittee approved adding FEI but did not remove FEG

35 2 nd & 3 rd Generation Codes/Standards IECC 2018 and 2021 IgCC 2018 and 2021

36 What Does This Mean? FEG, Fan Company improves FEI, You improve your design Imagine getting your customers to spend 60% more on a bigger Greenhouse Maybe---- Difficult to Enforce Depends on Next Administration

37 Acme R&D 3 Windtunnels-Reverberant Sound Chamber Fabricated metal- DCA Three Dimensional Direct Drive ECM, ETC!!!! Around the world

38 Does All This?????? My Cousins Paper Your Energy Budget Carbon emissions constant Two Examples My Neighbors Boat My Better Half

39 Thank You Questions
