To evaluate how effectively the Energy Analysis and Diagnostic Centers have assisted small and medium-size manufacturers to conserve energy and reduce its cost, the staff of University City Science Center visit and interview at least 30% of the manufacturers served by the program. This report presents the results of 74 such interviews, conducted between October and December of 1983, which - when added to the 112 reported at two previous times - brings the total interviewed to 39% of all those served during the 1981 to 1983 period of the EADC program. The EADCs that provided this technological energy assistance are located at Georgia Institute of Technology, Oklahoma State University, and the Universities of Dayton, Kansas, and Tennessee. In selecting the manufacturers to be interviewed, the professional staff of UCSC's Center for Energy Management and Industrial Technology attempts to achieve a sample with diversity in the types of industry, the size of the plants, their energy sources, and their locations. Taken together, the 74 manufacturers interviewed for this report represented 17 different industries (2-digit SIC codes), employed 12,608 persons, and had an aggregate 1982 sales volume of $1.365 billion.
