The paper describes three methods for determination of the fan energy consumption associated to air filter : the hourly method (calculation of the hourly fan power), the segment method (lifespan filter-associated fan energy), the BIN method (estimation of annual filter-associated fan energy). etailed filter installing date and detailed hourly AHU system simulation.
These methods allow in particular to estimate the filter-associated fan energy consumption and the life-cycle cost of filters.
