Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6512133
The achievements of the Energy Analysis and Diagnostic Center (EADC) program at the mid-point of the 1981 to 1983 operating period are presented. An accounting and an analysis of the Btu conservation and dollar savings identified by 5 EADCs while performing energy audits in the plants of 165 small and medium-size manufacturers are included. In addition, this report reviews the characteristics of the 742 energy conservation opportunities recommended for the 20 different industries served and considers their effectiveness, in Btus and dollars, for the specific energy sources to be conserved in particular industries. As part of the EADCs' periodic performance evaluation 48 of the manufacturers served were interviewed in person to find out how they perceived the program and how satisfied they are with the services received. Their responses are also recorded and analyzed in this report. Finally, this report concludes with a summary of the program's known educational benefits in the universities where the EADCs are located, the conferences and workshops held for the EADCs' past and potential clients, and the technical support and program management provided by the Science Center.
