Applying Fan Energy Index (FEI) in Regulations and Applications - PAPER
Fan energy index (FEI) is replacing fan efficiency grade as a metric for efficiency provisions in ASHRAE standards and the International Energy Conservation Code. Additionally, U.S. appliance-efficiency regulations for commercial and industrial fans and blowers are being developed around FEI. FEI is more than a rating metric, however. It also is a design tool, one that can be used by application and design engineers to reduce energy consumption through right-sizing of fans for variable-air-volume (VAV) and constant-speed (CS) systems. This article summarizes FEI as a regulatory metric and provides guidance for using FEI in VAV and CS applications.

AMCA ONLINE LEARNING PLATFORM ENHANCEMENTS!

The AMCA learning platform is getting an upgrade!

The enhancements coming very soon include:

  • Easier, more intuitive navigation
  • Expanded search capability
  • Single Sign On (SSO) option
  • Shopping cart feature-- more than 1 course can be purchased at a time
  • Separate Member & non-member course pricing
  • User profile with content recommendations
  • And so much more!!

In addition, expanded & newer content is being added to offer a wider variety of learning opportunities!


When will this take place?

Target launch goal: End of Q2 of 2023

This project is no small effort!

In addition to a new learning platform, AMCA is implementing several other online programs and they all need to be integrated before we can "go live", so the development, implementation, and testing is taking somewhat longer than anticipated. But it will be well worth the wait!

Any or all courses you have started or completed on the current platform will be preserved, and all reports and tracking of progress and PDH credits earned will be saved. No user information will be lost.

What action do I need to take?

Nothing needs to be done at this time. If you had a login for the previous online learning platform your login will change, and a new login will be provided to you when the new platform goes live. If you did not use the old platform but would like to use the new one, instructions will be sent out and posted on this page when the new site goes live.

What do I do in the meantime?

You can keep learning by going to the Educate page of the AMCA website to access webinar recordings, white & technical papers, editions AMCA inmotion Magazine, and videos & presentations from previous meetings and educational seminars.

If you need PDH credit before the enhanced site is launched, contact Robb Clawson, Director of Marketing, Education, Membership, and Events, and he will help with that.

How do I get more information?

We will keep you advised of developments, so watch for upcoming announcements and emails. If you have interim questions you can always email Robb Clawson.

In recognition of the potential for transmission of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), as an aerosol, government agencies, health institutions, and others in 2020 began issuing guidance for the operation and maintenance of heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning equipment and systems. Seeing an opportunity to improve the guidance related to large-diameter ceiling fans (LDCF), AMCA, in collaboration with Concordia University and teams of experts in health science, building science, and fan engineering, initiated an in-depth study of the impact of LDCF on COVID-19 exposure in a warehouse in the United States. … [Read more]
