ASME announced four new standards to establish requirements and best practices for conducting energy assessments of manufacturing plants and industrial facilities.

The standards cover heating, pumping and steam systems; and compressed air systems provide a basis for operators of
industrial facilities to measure energy efficiencies, improve environmental
performance and optimize fuel utilization.

For information, contact Ryan Crane, craner@asme.org.

The new standards are a result of ASME collaboration with the U.S. Dept. of Energy Industrial Technologies Program and emerged from work on Superior Energy Performance, an
initiative spearheaded by the U.S. Council for Energy-Efficient Manufacturing and involving government and industry groups.

Founded in 1880 as the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, ASME codes and standards, publications, conferences, continuing education and professional development programs provide a foundation for advancing
technical knowledge and a safer world. Web: asme.org. ©2010 GlobalFastenerNews.com
