The Motor Systems Initiative is designed to help capture the immense, potential energy savings associated with compressed air, pump, fan and blower systems. Member-sponsored pilot projects will yield documented approaches to address specific industries and are expected to provide additional tools to optimize and market motor system savings opportunities.
Motor systems operate everything from paint sprayers to ventilation and water pumping systems.
Improvements in industrial productivity and other non-energy benefits can be of even greater value. A cumulative result of these barriers is that the motor system market is largely first-cost driven. Consequently, the connection is not made between efficient motor systems and manufacturing performance and competitiveness. This initiative is designed to increase customer awareness of motor system efficiency opportunities by empowering public benefits programs with proven resources targeted to specific types of industrial customers and motor system efficiency opportunities. While a number of excellent motor systems resources are currently available, the motor systems initiative presents them in a unifying framework that is easily accessible to program implementers.
