Significant Developments in the Commercial Fan Industry: Introduction of the Fan Energy Index (FEI)
With energy regulations rapidly evolving, the Fan Energy Index (FEI) is changing how engineers select fan systems. Integrated into ASHRAE 90.1-2019 and IECC-21, FEI regulations were officially adopted in Florida as of December 20, 2023, and a federal mandate is expected by 2029. 🔍 What is FEI? FEI is a crucial metric for assessing a fan’s energy performance. It helps ensure compliance with code requirements and boosts overall system efficiency. A FEI score of ≥1.0 meets compliance standards, leading to energy savings and cost reductions. 💡 Why FEI is Essential for Engineers: Simplifies adherence to updated energy codes Aids in selecting high-efficiency fan systems Improves energy performance across various projects 🔧 Stan Weaver & Co. – Your FEI Resource Our expert team is here to help navigate FEI standards, enabling informed choices for better project results.
