A software tool for calculating energy efficiency for a variety of industrial and manufacturing applications.

MEASUR helps manufacturers increase industrial energy efficiency at the plant-level and in specific systems. Learn step-by-step ways to identify opportunities, monitor progress, and improve efficiency in any facility. Some tools help facilities implement an energy management system and prepare to become ISO 50001 and Superior Energy Performance certified. Based on older Department of Energy (DOE) tools, the Advanced Manufacturing Office (AMO) has undertaken this effort to refactor the legacy tools into a modern environment. The suite includes 7 energy system assessment modules, a Data Exploration Module, extensive help text, comprehensive reports, data visualization, and 79 calculators!

A software tool for calculating energy efficiency for a variety of industrial and manufacturing applications.

MEASUR helps manufacturers increase industrial energy efficiency at the plant-level and in specific systems. Learn step-by-step ways to identify opportunities, monitor progress, and improve efficiency in any facility. Some tools help facilities implement an energy management system and prepare to become ISO 50001 and Superior Energy Performance certified. Based on older Department of Energy (DOE) tools, the Advanced Manufacturing Office (AMO) has undertaken this effort to refactor the legacy tools into a modern environment. The suite includes 7 energy system assessment modules, a Data Exploration Module, extensive help text, comprehensive reports, data visualization, and 72 calculators!

Release Notes v1.1.0 MEASUR is a supported application, updates are expected and may impact previously created assessments. Warnings:

• Installing v1.0.0 or an earlier version of this tool will automatically reset your app data. Data can be imported into an earlier version from v1.0.0
• Do not install an earlier version of this tool without resetting your app data (in settings).
• Assessments created in MEASUR 0.8.0 or later are not compatible with older versions.
• Exporting from v.0.8.0 and importing to a lower version will continue to work, though new features will not be available.
