MEASUR — The Complete Guide: Energy Assessments for Industrial Systems

MEASUR (Manufacturing Energy Assessment Software for Utility Reduction) was developed at ORNL for the US Department of Energy. It brings a series of legacy tools such as PSAT, FSAT, PHAST and AirMaster+ under one interface and is used to find and quantify energy savings in the big industrial systems.

What you get

Pumping and fan systems — actual efficiency compared with an optimal case to reveal savings potential.
Steam and compressed air — a system model, leaks, pressure and improvement scenarios.
Process heating — an energy balance for furnaces and heaters and their main losses.
Treasure Hunt — collects savings opportunities from a site walk-through, with cost and savings for each.
Calculators — more than seventy equipment and property calculators, on the desktop or in the browser.

A note for readers outside the US

Default energy prices and equipment data reflect the US market, and the interface is English only. To use it for an energy audit at a plant in Israel or elsewhere, replace the electricity, gas and water prices with local values and enter equipment data from the site; the engineering calculations themselves hold anywhere. It focuses on industrial systems rather than buildings.
