FEI: Introduction to FEI Fan Energy Index

Developed by Air Movement and Control Association (AMCA) International, fan energy index (FEI) is an efficiency metric designed in part to drive significant and quantifiable energy savings through use in codes, utility rebate programs, and regulations. This self-guided course examines FEI as it applies to stand-alone fans. It describes the concepts behind FEI, advantages of FEI compared with the fan-efficiency-grade (FEG) metric it is replacing, how to use FEI to estimate lifetime fan energy savings, and methods for applying FEI in building codes and efficiency programs. Includes free copy of AMCA Standard 208 Calculation of the Fan Energy Index normally sold separately for $90. Includes pdf course notes that are handy for future reference, and make it easier for you to follow along, especially if English is not your first language.
