Fan Energy Index Training Modules

• Introduction to Fan Energy Index (FEI) for Stand-Alone Fans - 1.5 PDH
• For non-engineers, this introductory course explains the concepts behind FEI, advantages of FEI compared with the fan-efficiency-grade (FEG) metric, how to use FEI to estimate lifetime fan energy savings, and methods for applying FEI in building codes and efficiency programs.
• $79.00 | $39.50 (AMCA members)

• Calculating Fan Energy Index (FEI) for Stand-Alone Fans 3.5 PDH + 1.5 PDH for included Introduction course
• This training, which includes the entire Introduction course, explores the engineering methods used to determine FEI ratings. It includes more than fifty equation and sample calculations.
• $249.00 | $124.50 (AMCA members)
