International. The International Air Movement and Control Association (AMCA) announced the launch of its new Fan Energy Waste Calculator which is hosted on the AMCA website.
The association has developed the web tool to help participants in the AMCA certification program communicate the benefits of the program to members and the industry at large. The calculator estimates the loss of electricity resulting from a fan operating with higher energy consumption than expected, based on its manufacturer's qualification data.
Calculator settings include:
• Annual energy waste (in kilowatt-hours).
• Annual energy waste budget (in any of the calculator's pre-programmed 34 country currencies, based on the country's average commercial electricity tariff).
• Unnecessary annual greenhouse gas emissions (in tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent).
