IMSSA (International Motor Selection and Savings Analysis) software tool (Copyright 2003 -  International Copper Association, Ltd. and Washington State University Energy Program) provides industrial users of motor systems with greater access to performance and decision making information concerning energy efficient motors systems.
 

The software was developed as a joint effort of Natural Resources Canada, Corporacion Nacional del Cobre de Chile (Codelco), the European Community – JRC, the UK Action Energy (Carbon Trust), the US Department of Energy, and the International Copper Association. LBNL represents the US Department of Energy on the Project Steering Committee.
 

The purpose of the International Motors Systems Software Project is to:

The goal is to make the software broadly available under guidelines developed by the Project Steering Committee and to create awareness campaigns about the software and the benefits of energy efficiency in motor driven systems. The project expects to build and strengthen relationships, enhance trade opportunities, and improve communications and information transfer, while supporting an international dialogue about global harmonization of motor testing and energy efficiency standards.
