The Efficient Fans program is working to improve the efficiency of commercial and industrial fan systems, which are used in applications like exhaust systems, air-handling units, and industrial process equipment. While fans are common, efficiency is often overlooked when these systems are selected and installed.

The program is partnering with manufacturers, representatives, and specifiers to increase awareness of the Fan Energy Index (FEI), a performance metric that helps identify efficient fan options. It is also working to make efficient fans easier to select and purchase by influencing design tools and educating the market on the benefits of higher-efficiency systems. Through these efforts, the program aims to make efficient fans the standard choice, reducing energy waste and improving performance across the Northwest.
