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.

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]
