Energy Efficient Motor Applications

Motors consume more than 50 percent of all the electrical energy generated in the United States and more than 30 percent of all the electricity used in the commercial sector. Most motors in the commercial sector are used to power fans and pumps in the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. It’s not unusual for a motor to consume many times its capital cost in electricity every year. For all these reasons, it’s clear that the motors in your building probably offer significant opportunities for savings.
