Die Annotation des Normtextes ČSN EN ISO 11011 (109003):

This International Standard has been developed with reference to available documentation1) (see Bibliography) relating to energy assessment of compressed air systems.

This International Standard is produced to support the objectives of energy management for those organisations utilizing compressed air and wishing to improve the energy efficiency of such systems.

Remembering the words of Lord Kelvin who said in 1883, "If you cannot measure it, you cannot improve it", this International Standard aims to assist with measurement and provide the knowledge to enable improvement.

The prime consideration for any compressed air system is the ability to generate air with the least amount of energy. Having done this, the next consideration is to transmit energy from the point of generation to the point of use with the least loss. The final consideration is to eliminate waste and use the least amount of air for the production process.

This International Standard uses speciality terms which relate the needs of assessment activities to those of compressed air systems. Many terms will appear new to the users of this International Standard who are familiar with general compressed air terms.

A general introduction to energy assessment is given in Annex A
