Implementation results and financial returns from EADCs' recommendations to conserve energy and control costs. Second phase, 1981-1983 program

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6512482
The 190 small and medium-size manufacturers served during the second phase of the 1981-1983 Energy Analysis and Diagnostic Center program have implemented, or scheduled for implementation, about 1000 of the EADCs' recommendations that will conserve almost 954 billion Btu/year and save almost $5 million/year in energy costs. Those figures represent a 72% increase in Btus conserved and an 86% gain in dollars saved over the first phase of the program, even though the number of implementation reports was only 7% larger during the second phase than during the first. This report presents a detailed account of the energy conserving and cost saving implementations carried out by 175 manufacturers contacted by the EADCs within a year after each plant had received its report of an EADC's recommendations, based upon a site visit and an analysis of the plant's operations. (Implementation data from the other 15 manufacturers served were not yet sufficiently complete to be included in this report.) The aggregated results show that the manufacturers' implementation represents 77.7% of the total Btus and 73.6% of the total dollars recommended in the energy audit reports.
