Scope:

Through the benchmark energy factor concept, this BEF standard will provide a unified and consistent method for performing measurement activities and assessment of actual operating system energy performance.

The intent of this standard is to develop uniform methods to measure and assess the overall efficiency of open and closed loop, electric driven pump systems of ‘clean’

water typical used at industrial, institutional, commercial and municipal facilities. The intent is not to prescribe minimum efficiency levels of pump components or systems for manufacturers but rather provide an energy performance indicator of actual operating system efficiency.

 

Project need:

Project need is to support innovation in the field of benchmarking commercial and industrial pump systems by providing requirements for the measurement and reporting of the power consumption and energy efficiency performance of industrial refrigeration systems.
