Energy Efficiency Rating for Vacuums
The Energy Efficiency Rating for Vacuums option for the SOA Vacuum testing program came about in response to a major retailer's interest in labeling its vendors' vacuums according to their energy efficiency. The new energy testing evaluates a vacuum's energy use in relation to its cleaning effectiveness, and can be performed as an optional test or as part of the regular Seal of Approval vacuum testing.
Professional Testing's Asbury noted that, for large commercial operations like hotel chains, office complexes and conference centers, switching from low-efficiency to high-efficiency vacuums would significantly lower energy consumption per each vacuum used, resulting in substantial cost savings over the course of a year. CRI President Braun says he expects testing under the new energy program will begin in the very near future, possibly in the next two to three weeks.
