20、 referenced as an “assessment.” A compressed air system is defi ned as a group of subsystems comprised of integrated sets of components used to deliver compressed air energy to manufacturing equipment and processes. Assessments involve collecting and analyzing system design, operation, energy use, a
21、nd performance data and iden-tifying energy performance improvement opportunities for system optimization. An assessment may also include ad-ditional information, such as recommendations for improving resource utilization, reducing per unit production cost, reducing lifecycle costs, and improving en
22、vironmental performance related to the assessed system(s). This Standard provides a common defi nition for what constitutes an assessment for both users and providers of assessment services. The objective is to provide clarity for these types of services that have been variously described as energy
23、assessments, energy audits, energy surveys, and energy studies. In all cases, systems (energy-using logical groups of industrial equipment organized to perform a specifi c function) are analyzed through various techniques, such as measurement, resulting in the identifi cation, documentation, and pri
24、oritization of energy performance im-provement opportunities. This Standard sets the requirements for conducting and reporting the results of an assessment that considers the entire system, from energy inputs to the work performed as the result of these inputs. An assessment complying with this Stan
25、dard does not need to address each individual system component or subsystem within an industrial facility with equal weight; however, it must be suffi ciently comprehensive to identify the major energy effi ciency opportuni-ties for improving the overall energy performance of the system. This Standa
26、rd is designed to be applied primarily at industrial facilities, but many of the concepts can be used in other facilities, such as those in the institutional and commercial sectors.This Standard is part of a portfolio of documents and other efforts designed to improve the energy effi ciency of indus
27、trial facilities. Initially, assessment standards are being developed for compressed air, process heating, pumping, and steam systems. Other related existing and planned efforts to improve the effi ciency of industrial facilities include(a) ASME guidance documents for the assessment standards, which
28、 provide technical background and applica-tion details to support the understanding of the assessment standard. The guidance documents provide rationale for the technical requirements of the assessment standard and give technical guidance, application notes, alternative ap-proaches, tips, techniques
29、, and rules-of-thumb.(b) A certifi cation program for each ASME assessment standard that recognizes certifi ed practitioners as individu-als who have demonstrated, via a professional qualifying exam, that they have the necessary knowledge and skills to properly apply the assessment standard.(c) An e
30、nergy management standard, “A Management System for Energy, ANSI/MSE 2000:2008,” which is a stan-dardized approach to manage energy supply, demand, reliability, purchase, storage, use, and disposal and is used to control and reduce an organizations energy costs and energy-related environmental impac
31、t. NOTE: This ANSI stan-dard will eventually be superseded by ISO 50001, now under development.(d) An ANSI-accredited measurement and verifi cation protocol that includes methodologies for verifying the results of energy effi ciency projects.(e) A program, Superior Energy Performance, that will offe
32、r ANSI-accredited certifi cation for energy effi ciency through application of ANSI/MSE 2000:2008 and documentation of a specifi ed improvement in energy performance using the ANSI measurement and verifi cation protocol.The complementary documents described above, when used together, will assist org
33、anizations seeking to establish and implement company- or site-wide energy plans.ASME EA-42010 was approved by the EA Industrial System Energy Assessment Standards Committee on January 7, 2010 and approved by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) on March 3, 2010.vEA INDUSTRIAL SYSTEM ENE

As such, users of this Standard may interact with the Committee by requesting interpretations, proposing revision
41、s, and attending Committee meetings. Correspondence should be addressed to: Secretary, EA CommitteeThe American Society of Mechanical EngineersThree Park AvenueNew York, NY 10016-5990http:/go.asme.org/InquiryProposing Revisions. Revisions are made periodically to the Standard to incorporate changes
42、that appear necessary or desirable, as demonstrated by the experience gained from the application of the Standard. Approved revisions will be published periodically.The Committee welcomes proposals for revisions to this Standard. Such proposals should be as specifi c as possible, citing the paragrap
43、h number(s), the proposed wording, and a detailed description of the reasons for the proposal, including any pertinent documentation.Proposing a Case. Cases may be issued for the purpose of providing alternative rules when justifi ed, to permit early implementation of an approved revision when the n
44、eed is urgent, or to provide rules not covered by existing provi-sions. Cases are effective immediately upon ASME approval and shall be posted on the ASME Committee Web page.Requests for Cases shall provide a Statement of Need and Background Information. The request should identify the Standard, the
45、 paragraph, fi gure or table number(s), and be written as a Question and Reply in the same format as existing Cases. Requests for Cases should also indicate the applicable edition(s) of the Standard to which the proposed Case applies.Interpretations. Upon request, the EA Committee will render an int
46、erpretation of any requirement of the Standard. Interpretations can only be rendered in response to a written request sent to the Secretary of the EA Committee.The request for interpretation should be clear and unambiguous. It is further recommended that the inquirer submit his request in the follow
47、ing format:Subject: Cite the applicable paragraph number(s) and a concise description.Edition: Cite the applicable edition of the Standard for which the interpretation is being requested.Question: Phrase the question as a request for an interpretation of a specifi c requirement suitable for general
48、understanding and use, not as a request for an approval of a proprietary design or situation. The in-quirer may also include any plans or drawings that are necessary to explain the question; however, they should not contain proprietary names or information.Requests that are not in this format will b
49、e rewritten in this format by the Committee prior to being answered, which may inadvertently change the intent of the original request.ASME procedures provide for reconsideration of any interpretation when or if additional information that might affect an interpretation is available. Further, persons aggrieved by an interpretation may appeal to the cognizant ASME Committee. ASME does not “approve,” “certify,” “rate,” or “endorse” any item, construction, proprietary device, or activity.Attending Committee Meetings.
