    • Coal Retirements: Defining the Need and the Efficiency Opportunity 
      Chittum, A.; Farley, K.; Elliot, R. N. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2012)
      For decades, major areas of the United States have relied heavily on coal for electricity generation. Abundant and relatively cheap, coal has powered large swaths of the Southeast, Midwest, Mid-Atlantic and western United ...
    • Expanding the Industrial Assessment Center Program: Building an Industrial Efficiency Workforce 
      Trombley, D.; Elliott, R. N.; Chittum, A. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2009-05)
      Energy efficiency provides an unequaled opportunity for manufacturing companies to reduce operating costs. Energy efficiency improvements not only lead to reduced energy costs, they can lead to even greater improved ...
    • Industrial Energy Efficiency Programs: Development and Trends 
      Chittum, A.; Kaufman, N.; Elliot, N. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2010)
      As more states establish Energy Efficiency Resource Standards (EERS), goals for energy efficiency savings are increasing across the country. Increasingly, states are relying on their industrial energy efficiency programs ...
    • Obstacles and Opportunity: Overcoming Barriers in Today's CHP Marketplace 
      Chittum, A.; Kaufman, N. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2011)
      Combined heat and power (CHP), which can offer tremendous efficiency benefits to industrial facilities around the country, continues to be viewed as a long-term efficiency opportunity. However, the high up-front cost of ...
    • A Ranking of State Combined Heat and Power Policies 
      Chittum, A.; Kaufman, N. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2009-05)
      Combined Heat and Power (CHP) has been identified as a significant opportunity for greater energy efficiency and decreased environmental impacts of energy consumption. Despite this, the regulatory and policy landscape ...
    • Recent Developments in CHP Policy in the United States 
      Farley, K.; Chittum, A. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2013)
      Combined Heat and Power (CHP), also known as cogeneration, refers to one of several technologies that allow a facility to generate electricity and useful heat simultaneously. It is highly efficient compared to conventional ...
    • State Barriers to CHP Development 
      Chittum, A.; Kaufman, N. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2011)
      Every year, ACEEE collects data on regulatory policies in each state that theoretically serve to promote and discourage combined heat and power (CHP) development. In our annual State Energy Efficiency Scorecard (5), we ...
    • Suggested Treatment of CHP Within an EERS Context 
      Chittum, A.; Elliott, R. N.; Trombley, D.; Watson, S. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2009-05)
      Reliable monitoring and measurement of the energy savings resulting from the installation of combined heat and power (CHP) systems and power recovered from waste energy (recycled energy) projects is becoming increasingly ...
