Most important energy efficiency options.

Use energy-efficient motors for continuous or near continuous operation

Minimize fan inlet and outlet obstructions

Use variable speed drives for large variable fan loads

Clean screens, filters and fan blades regularly

Minimize fan speed

Use low slip or flat belts for power transmission

Check belt tension regularly

Eliminate variable pitch pulleys

Eliminate leaks in duct works

Minimizing system resistance and pressure drops by improving the duct system

Ensure proper alignment between drive and driven system
