When the implementation results from small and medium-size manufacturers served during phase three of the 1981 to 1983 Energy Analysis and Diagnostic Center (EADC) program are combined with those of the preceding phases, it is clear that five EADCs have been responsible for the implementation of $10,273,603/year in cost savings and 1952 billion Btu/year in energy conservation by 460 small and medium-size manufacturers. At the same time, these manufacturers have spent $11,665,638 in the private sector to achieve these cost savings, thereby giving an overall payback time of 1.14 years. However, the chief focus is on phase three of the 1981 to 1983 time period, during which 121 manufacturers considered the implementation of almost 700 individual measures. Those that are being implemented will conserve a little more than 445 billion Btu/year and save almost $2.6 million/year in energy related costs.
