ASHRAE 90.1 addresses efficiency for chilled water pumping systems with guidelines for controls that result in pump motor demand of no more than 30% of design wattage at 50% of design flow. The concept of differential pressure control is an essential part of variable speed pump control to maximize efficiency, highlighted in ASHRAE 90.1.
