IAC Webinar - Pump System Assessment for Optimization

Pumping systems are often overlooked related to energy savings potential, but the US Department of Energy identified pumping systems as having the greatest potential for savings due to optimization. On average optimizing pumping systems results in 20% savings, but in certain cases, the savings can exceed 65%. Attend this session to learn the potential benefits from assessing pumping systems, what to consider in the walk through to prioritize your opportunities, and strategies for optimizing the pumping systems.

This webinar covers:

  • Introduction to pumping systems and why assessing them is valuable
  • Identification of system red flags that indicate savings opportunity
  • A prescreening example
  • Where you should focus the assessment and areas for optimization
  • Assessment methodology and levels of assessment

DOE's Better Plants (BP) and Better Climate Challenge (BCC) Programs

The DOE's Better Plants Program partners with leading manufacturers and water utilities to improve energy efficiency and competitiveness in the industrial sector, saving money in the process. Through Better Plants, partners voluntarily set a specific goal, typically to reduce energy intensity by 25% over a 10-year period across all their U.S. operations. While through the DOE’s Better Climate Challenge, organizations set ambitious, portfolio-wide GHG emissions reduction goals – at least a 50% reduction in scope 1 and 2 emissions within 10 years. This effort is an opportunity to meet the urgent call to mitigate the impacts of climate change. Partners receive technical assistance from DOE as well as opportunities to learn and share actionable best practices for carbon reduction as they work to meet their goals.
