Three methods have been developed to determine the filter-associated fan energy consumption. These methods are the hourly method, the segment method, and the BIN method. The hourly method calculates the hourly filter-associated fan power. The segment method estimates the lifespan filter-associated fan energy without conducting detailed AHU system simulation. The BIN method estimates the annual filter-associated fan energy without detailed filter installing date and detailed hourly AHU system simulation. These methods provide tools for detailed filter-associated fan energy simulation, the life-cycle cost analysis of energy efficient filters, and other engineering analysis purposes.
