White Paper: Achieving the Paris Agreement — The Vital Role of High-Efficiency Motors and Drives in Reducing Energy Consumption
According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), industry accounts for 37% of global energy use and some 30% of global energy is consumed in buildings.
While mostly hidden from public view, electric motors — and the variable-speed drives that optimize their operation — are embedded in almost every built environment. They power a vast range of applications fundamental to our modern way of life, from industrial pumps, fans, and conveyors for manufacturing and propulsion systems for transportation to compressors for electrical appliances and heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems in buildings.
