United States federal industrial energy savings programs
The Department of Energy offers a variety of
Industry Best Practices through its Office of Energy Efficiency and
Renewable Energy (EERE) Industrial Technologies Program. Designed to
help industrial companies of all size address energy management needs,
these include
software tools,
publications,
training,
databases, lists of
qualified
specialists
and tips on
ways to save energy.
- Small- to medium-sized manufacturing facilities with gross
annual sales below $100 million and fewer than 500 employees at the
plant site can benefit from a free EERE
Industrial Assessment Center (IAC) energy and waste assessment.
- Mid-size and large manufacturers can respond to EERE’s annual
competitive solicitation for cost-shared
Energy Savings Assessments.
- You can also contact the
EERE Information Center with specific questions and to get
assistance in finding the information you need.
In addition, you should investigate state industrial energy
efficiency programs where your facilities are located.
