"Optimizing Pumping Systems:
A Guide to Improved Energy Efficiency, Reliability, and Profitability"

View a 20 minute Webcast on "The Push for Energy Efficiency in Pumping Systems."

Presented By:

Office of Energy Effiiency and Renewable Energy

Pump Systems Matter is focused on Energy Savings, Efficiency and Economics of pumps and pumping systems. 

According to studies by the US Department of Energy:

  • Nearly 25% of industrial electricity demand comes from industrial motor systems
  • Over 50% of pump life cycle costs result from energy and maintenance expense
  • Less than 15% of pump life cycle costs are initial purchase costs
  • Energy savings of 20% or more are possible with systems optimization

Pump Systems Matter aims to help lower the energy needs of North America while improving the bottom-line profitability of businesses by providing pump users with strategic, broad-based energy management and performance optimization solutions.

Industrial, municipal and many other sectors of North American economies are energy intensive.  Many savings programs and attractive paybacks are available to companies that seek efficiency improvements within motor-driven systems, especially with pumps.  Pump Systems Matter’s website is your educational resource for:

  • Getting started on optimizing your pumping systems
  • Free modeling tools, case studies, white papers, tip sheets, guidebooks, executive summaries and more to help you positively effect the profitability of your company
  • Standards, books and courses to help you become the “expert” in pumping systems for your organization
  • Available energy savings programs

While exploring this site, we encourage you to learn more about the initiative and the benefits of joining the growing roster of companies that are currently sponsors.  We are in the early start-up stages of this national pump systems market transformation initiative and invite your leadership and participation.
