As vice president of education, Swetye is responsible for leading educational initiatives within the Hydraulic Institute.

HI launched its Energy Rating Program in 2018 to make it easy for manufacturers and distributors to communicate energy efficiency, support power utilities in the development and operation of energy efficiency programs and help end users identify pumps that offer energy and cost-saving benefits.

Three new members have joined the Board of Directors for three-year terms.

The Hydraulic Institute (HI) continues to develop a robust portfolio supporting pump system efficiency.

Pumping systems account for more than 40% of industrial energy usage.

Taco Comfort Solutions CEO John H. White Jr. took over as HI chairman and SPP Pumps President John Kahren was elected HI president, each for a two-year term.  

Two tools will help manufacturer’s determine their pumps’ PEI according to DOE Regulations.

The program will accelerate the adoption of more efficient pumping systems into the marketplace and contribute towards broad-based energy savings for end-users in commercial and industrial sectors including agriculture and building services.

A true champion of the pump industry and the Hydraulic Institute, Huber has helped HI maintain its global status as a premier organization for technical excellence.
