GT Qualified Specialists have conducted > 40 ESAsGT Qualified Specialists have conducted > 40 ESAs

GEFA• Compressed Air • Fans • Process Heating • Pumping • Steam

■ Assessments targeted at most energy intensive industries and most intensive energy systems

■ Conducted by DOE Energy Experts

■ Plant personnel are trained on DOE software tools

INDUSTRIAL ASSESSMENT CENTERS

• DOE's 26 university-based Industrial Assessment Centers (IACs) train engineering students for careers in industrial energy efficiency

• IACs serve 300+ plants per year (under 1 TBtu/yr) and typically identify savings of 8%-10% or $115,000/plant

• Database of 13,500 assessment results: http://iac.rutgers.edu/database

Power Partners (GSN)

LEAN & GREEN Assessment: 3 days, “green” value stream map

Power Partners by the NumbersEstimated energy savings of $600,000Reduced tank inventory by 34 percentCut supply chain lead time from 17 days to less than a weekReduced water usage by 10,000 gallons dailyImproved quality and productivity

Plant managers and consulting engineers can use ITP’s system- and component-specific training sessions that focus on improving energy management and the use of the software tools.

End-User Training

• Hands-on, one- and two-day trainings at different locations around the country are taught by expert instructors

• Webcasts provide an introduction to energy management and other special topics

• Data Center Workshops provide information on state-of-the-art strategies to improve data center energy intensity

Specialist Training

• Interested Federal personnel can take training to become a Qualified Specialist.

Leads to continual improvement & sustained savings

ISO Project Committee 242ISO Secretary-General Alan Bryden: "This first meeting of PC 242 marks the launch of a new

global approach to systematically address energy performance in organizations – pragmatically addressing energy efficiency and related climate change impacts. It is fully in line with and supportive of the global mobilization on these major challenges, and with the IEA-ISO position paper on the contribution of International Standards."
