Climate Wise. Wise rules for industrial efficiency: A tool kit for estimating energy savings and greenhouse gas emissions reductions
Climate Wise is a partnership initiative sponsored by the US EPA, with technical support from the US DOE, designed to stimulate the voluntary reduction of greenhouse gas emissions among participating manufacturing companies. As part of their Climate Wise commitment, partner companies across the country develop comprehensive Action Plans that describe their energy efficiency and pollution prevention goals, the specific actions undertaken to achieve these goals, the time frame for implementing commitments, and estimates of the impacts on energy, costs, and emissions from these actions. To date, Climate Wise Partner companies have submitted Action Plans detailing more than 1,000 individual actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and prevent pollution. About half of these actions pertain to energy efficiency measures in industrial operations such as: boiler and steam systems, compressed air systems, energy management operations, motor systems, process heating, and process improvements. Partner companies also pursue non-process energy efficiency measures such as lighting, HVAC, and building shell improvements, as well as water conservation, recycling, pollution prevention and educational outreach.
