Buildings are a major contributor to CO2 emissions in UK
HVAC accounts for ~40% of a commercial buildings CO2 emissions
Fans & pumps account for ~ 50% of the energy consumed in HVAC
Significant energy & CO2 can be saved by upgrading existing HVAC equipment, fitting energy efficient fans & motors
2 Main reasons to consider fans & motors
1) Government Incentives / Legislation to reduce CO2 emissions
2) Reduce your energy bill - SAVE MONEY!
Reduce your buildings energy consumptionWhy should you consider Fans?

Government Incentives / Legislation
1. Enhanced Capital Allowances (ECAs) business claim tax relief on investments made on equipment meeting energy saving criteria. (listed on ETL)
EC fans qualify for ECA’s
4. Ecodesign of Energy related Products Directive – ErP Imposes minimum energy efficiency levels for products
Minimum efficiency levels set for Motors 2011 & Fans 2013
5. CRC Encourages organisations to develop Energy Management Strategies
3. CCA’s Climate Change Agreement Voluntary agreements for industries, if they agree to energy efficiency targets

“Any money saved on energy goes directly to the bottom line - a 20% cut in energy costs can represent the same bottom line benefit as a 5% increase in sales”
Reduce your energy billWhy should you consider Fans?
Annual energy costs for the sector: In excess £1 billionApprox. 100,000 hotels / pubs in the UKUpgrading fans - can not only reduce energy bills but also improve customer comfort

EC FansWhat are they? And why are they more efficient?
Permanent magnet motors with integrated speed control
Energy efficiency More energy efficient than standard induction motors
Speed Control Integrated speed control - no additional VSD is required.
Reduced Noise Reduced noise under speed control
Compact design Integrated motor & speed control
Reduced maintenance No belts & pulleys
Built in Power factor correction
AC to DC conversion
CommutationElectronics
Permanent magnet
Stator

Bar chart shows Power input V’s number of fans used.
Ie. For a 4 fan system. - Switching off 2 fans gives 50% reduction in airflow & 50% energy saving.
Line graph shows power input for fans controlled via variable speed.
Ie. For a 4 fan system. - running all fans @ ½ speed gives 50% reduction in airflow & ~80% energy saving.

EC Benefit Control & Monitoring Options
1) Integrated demand based control of fan speed means that the fan is only used when needed
2) Continuous speed adjustment reduces noise, provides a more even flow of air and reduces energy consumption
3) Simply connect a sensor to the motor for demand control against any parameter.
4) Larger fans have modbus
5) Bluetooth control is available
The Integrated electronics - allow for simple speed control

Summary
The easiest way to reduce our carbon emissions is by using more energy efficient products.
Government & European legislation is setting higher efficiency levels.
ErP directive for fan efficiency means that many (AC) Induction motors no longer comply.
EC-Technology is an established alternative technology that easily exceeds current & future efficiency targets.
EC-Technology can be easily installed as an upgrade to existing equipment.
EC-Technology offers more energy saving than meets the eye.
