The Commission European Climate Change Program (ECCP) has identified motor driven systems as the major area for action to reduce electricity consumption, with a cost-effective saving potential of over 150 TWh in industry and 120 TWh in the service sector buildings. The respective economic savings exceed 12 billion euros for industry and 10 billion euros for buildings. ProMot, a decision support tool, is being developed within the framework of a project cofinanced by SAVE, aiming to aid end-users to explore the possibility of energy savings, in motor systems of an industrial or tertiary installation: electric motors, pumps, compressed air system and chillers. The tool helps in auditing an installation and performing simple meaningful calculations of purchasing, replacing existing or retrofitting electric motor systems. These technical and economic calculations are based on equipment data retrieved from widely accepted and regularly updated European databases and methodologies. All modules, publications and software are absolutely free of charge and can be downloaded.
