Abstract:
It more efficient products are to be developed, it is
essential that fair credit be given to as many energy
conservation innovations as possible. In order to give
such credit, and evaluation procedure is necessary which
considers the causes of the inefficiencies, or stated in
a positive sense, considers the modifications to the
unit
which will tend to minimize all the inefficiencies that
may exist as operated in the field.
