Abstract
Two identical houses, a test house and a reference house, were used to compare the effects of energy efficient furnace motors on electricity and natural gas use by replacing the standard motor furnace in the test house with an electronically commutated motor (ECM). Electricity and natural gas use was assessed for a wide range of space heating and air conditioning weather for both continuous and non-continuous circulation. The HOT2000 energy simulation model was used to project the annual energy savings of energy-efficient furnace motors for a variety of houses and climates.
