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 Industrial Technologies office (ITO, formerly the Advanced Manufacturing Office, AMO) has undertaken this effort to refactor the legacy tools into a modern environment.
The suite includes 8 assessment modules (6 energy system, the treasure hunt, and the water balance modules), a Data Exploration Module, extensive help text, comprehensive reports, data visualization, and 80 calculators!
Release Notes v1.7.5
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.

Known Issues:
- Users are experiencing issues with the desktop auto-update feature on some machines. In some cases this can be resolved by simply closing the application, re-opening, and allowing the auto-update to finish. The development team is actively working on the issue.
- 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
