Energy management assistance for small and medium-size manufacturers. An evaluation of the EADC program
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6512114
The Energy Analysis and Diagnostic Center (EADC) program has now provided technological energy assistance in the plants of more than 700 small and medium-size manufacturers. The performance of each of the 5 EADCs, which are located at Georgia Institute of Technology, Oklahoma State University, and the Universities of Dayton, Kansas, and Tennessee is evaluated periodically. This report presents an evaluation of their performance during the intermediate stage of the 1981 to 1983 phase of the EADC program. Evaluations of EADCs' performance are based upon interviews with manufacturers served by the program who are chosen to achieve a sample with diversity in the industries represented, the sizes of the plants, their mix of energy sources, and their locations. The 112 manufacturers interviewed for this evaluation represent 19 different industries (SIC codes), now employ 16,896 people, and has a total 1982 sales volume of $1551 million. The energy audit and audit report appear to have had positive impacts upon virtually all the participating firms. Asked if the energy audit and the final report had helped them to understand their energy usage, 106 of these 112 manufacturers' representatives said yes; only 6 (5% of the sample) did not feel the audit added anything new to their understanding. There were 109 (97%) who expect to achieve energy and dollar savings as a result of the EADCs' activities.
