IEEE 739-1995

This standard is needed to set engineering recommendations for including energy management in the electrical design, operation and maintenance of a facility. An up-to-date methodology to chose the proper equipment and evaluate its worth is needed. In addition, the latest technologies of metering, lighting, powering and generating equipment need to be mentioned. The purpose of this project is to update the present Bronze Book to include the lastest technologies and expand its scope. The present standard is primarily directed at industrial facilities. The proposed revision will include commercial buildings and an expanded coverage of energy controllers, monitoring and controlling equipment, and cogeneration/peak shaving. New IEEE Standard - Inactive-Reserved. This recommended practice serves as an engineering guide for use in electrical design for energy conservation. It provides a standard design practice to assist engineers in evaluating electrical options from an energy standpoint. It establishes engineering techniques and procedures to allow efficiency optimization in the design and operation of an electrical system considering all aspects (safety, costs, environment, those occupying the facility, management needs, etc.).
