Case studies of industrial energy conservation among small and medium-size manufacturers. Volume II

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5458928
The Energy Analysis and Diagnostic Center (EADC) program has been providing direct assistance in energy conservation to small and medium-size manufacturers since 1976, under the management of University City Science Center (UCSC). At the conclusion of the 1983-1984 period of the EADC program it had served a total of 1139 manufacturing plants. Energy audit teams, composed of university engineering faculty and students, visit the plant of each manufacturer served, review the manufacturing operations and other categories of energy use, measure the efficiency of energy usage, and recommend opportunities to lower energy consumption and reduce the associated costs. These recommendations are then analyzed for their feasibility and cost-effectiveness and presented in a report to the manufacturer. Every report includes at least three energy conservation opportunities or ECOs, together with calculations and engineering estimates of the savings that would result and the expected cost to implement them.
