Learn about vigilant mode.

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!

Release Notes v1.5.4

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 v1.0.1
  • 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.

What’s New?

  • Power Factor Triangle Calculator
  • Bug Fixes relating to Compressed Air, Treasure Hunt and others
  • Added "Centrifugal Equal Capacity Ratio Load Sharing" to "Multi compressor System Controls Method"

Here are the details of what’s new in version 1.5.4:
Application

  • Added: Additional Acknowledgement for DOE sponsors
  • Added: Instructions on how to cite MEASUR
  • Enhancement: Assessment level toggle allowing users to express GHG emissions results in imperial (ton CO2)
  • Enhancement: Upgrade to Angular 18 and Fixed Electron debugging
  • Fixed: Bug regarding CO2 default data when new mod created
  • Fixed: Bug regarding emission factor set to zero
  • Fixed: Bug relating to WASM error on new version deployment
  • Fixed: Bug where changes to CO2 Emissions from electricity were not carried over to the mod
  • Fixed: Bug where folder level cost details were not populating assessments

Calculators

  • Added: New calculator for creating a dynamic Power Factor triangle
  • Fixed: Bug in Boiler Calculator where calculations would not update after closing the stack loss calculator
  • Fixed: Bug where CO2 emissions Calculator not performing unit conversions
  • Fixed: Power Factor Correction Calculator not displaying user specified months in results table
  • Updated: Changed name of PH calculator (Energy Equivalency to Fuel and Electricity equivalency)

  • Updated: Icon for Power Factor Correction Calculator

Compressed Air

  • Enhancement: Added "Centrifugal Equal Capacity Ratio Load Sharing" to "Multi compressor System Controls Method"
  • Fixed: Bug relating to deleting equipment in the compressed air reduction calc
  • Fixed: Bug relating to having energy but no flow showing "Infinity", NAN, now showing "No Flow"
  • Fixed: Bug relating to Plotly graphs in Summary
  • Fixed: Expert submitted bug relating to Sankey generation

Fans

  • Fixed: Issues relating to WASM errors

Treasure Hunt

  • Fixed: Bug relating to blowdown calculator not providing results
  • Fixed: Bug relating to custom opportunities displaying in Treasure Chest

  • Fixed: Bug relating to hard refreshing while in Treasure Hunt
  • Fixed: Bug relating to PowerPoint tables scrambling if projects are unselected

Known Issues:

  • The Linux release does not support Auto-updating
  • Renaming an export in Windows Download menu can delete the file extension (.json)
  • Assessments made in a previous major release may experience errors
  • Import files made in a previous major release may not be useable due to field additions/removals
  • We have observed cases where if MEASUR is open for a long period of time while many assessments are present, MEASUR performance can become slow. If experienced, close and reopen MEASUR

Release Notes v1.5.3
