OSTI ID:6512492
University City Science Center (UCSC), as manager of the Energy Analysis and Diagnostic Center (EADC) program, is responsible for periodically evaluating the performance of each EADC in helping small and medium-size manufacturers to conserve energy and reduce their energy costs. This report presents the results of the most recent evaluation of the work performed by the five EADCs in operation prior to 1984: Georgia Institute of Technology, Oklahoma State University, and the Universities of Dayton, Kansas, and Tennessee. It was based on in-person interviews of 54 such manufacturers that were conducted during March and April, 1984. Those manufacturers were selected to obtain a sample with diversity in the industries represented, the size of the plants, their mix of energy sources, and their locations. All together they represented 17 different industries (2-digit SIC codes), employed 6563 people, and had an aggregate 1983 sales volume of $586 million. At the conclusion of each interview, which consisted of 46 questions structured to elicit specific kinds of information, the manufacturer's representative was asked whether he considered the EADC program to be a good expenditure of taxpayers' money. In this study 98% of those interviewed replied that it was.
