First Year Analysis of Industrial Energy Conservation in Texas A&M's Energy Analysis and Diagnostic Center Program

Show full item recordAbstract
Texas A&M University's Energy Analysis and
Diagnostic Center (EADC) performed 15 energy
audits of small- to medium-size manufacturing
plants during its first year. The EADC program
is funded by the United States Department of
Energy and managed by the University City Science
Center, a non-profit organization, located in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The purpose of the EADC is to identify and
recommend specific opportunities to conserve
energy. In addition, the EADC may identify and
recommend opportunities to reduce operating
costs, but which do not conserve any energy. The
EADC accomplishes its mission through careful
analysis of the relationship between the energy
utilized and the operating characteristics of the
plants.
The EADC recommended 109 energy conservation
opportunities (ECOs) in 15 energy audits, an
average of seven ECOs per audit. The 109
recommendations are divided into four groups:
Electrical Energy ECOs, Natural Gas ECOs,
Non-Energy Saving ECOs, and Opportunity ECOs.
This paper will briefly discuss the EADC
method of energy auditing and reporting, the four
groups of ECOs in detail, and the implementation
of the ECOs.
