ABSTRACT
The maintenance personnel should be capable of measuring the current performance of the equipment during energy centered maintenance inspection. Measuring the equipment’s current performance involves collecting and analyzing actual data about the operational parameters of the equipment. The measurements shall be compared with the baseline value, and the maintenance personnel shall be capable of judging if the equipment is overperforming, underperforming, or performing as intended. The principal of regular measurement of equipment efficiency aim of the balanced, proactive maintenance approach is to uncover deficiencies or energy waste before they are on early stage to reduce its impact on the overall energy consumption of the facility. In energy centered maintenance, the goal is to eliminate operational deficiencies of the equipment and to reduce its energy waste. The process starts by using the information collected during the inspection which identified certain problems such as low equipment performance, low energy efficiency, and high energy waste.
