    • Energy Efficiency and Pollution Prevention: Industrial Efficiency Strategies 
      Pye, M.; Elliott, R. N. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1998-04)
      For many years, efforts to promote energy efficiency and pollution prevention (P2) traveled on separate, parallel paths. Most energy efficiency proponents considered only energy savings aspects of their projects and most ...
    • Energy Efficiency Programs for Small and Medium Sized Industry 
      Shipley, A. M.; Elliott, R. N. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2001-05)
      Abundant, low-cost energy efficiency opportunities exist in industries with a high representation of small and medium-sized manufacturers. Small industrial facilities with fewer than 250 employees consume 25% of all ...
    • 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 ...
    • Financing of Industrial Energy Efficiency Through State Energy Offices 
      Elliott, R. N.; Weidenbaum, A. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1994-04)
      The New York State Energy Office Energy Investment Loan Program has a uniquely successful track record on financing industrial energy efficiency projects. The program is conducted in cooperation with 105 financial institutions ...
    • Impact of New Federal Efficiency Performance Standards on the Industrial Motor Marketplace 
      Elliott, R. N. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2009-05)
      The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 enacted new motor efficiency standards that will go into effect in December 2010. Previous motor efficiency standards, which were implemented as part of EPAct in 1992, caused ...
    • Impact of Tight Energy Markets on Industrial Energy Planning 
      Elliott, R. N. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2006)
    • Implementing Motor Decision Plans 
      Elliott, R. N. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2001-05)
      The first step to reducing energy costs and increasing reliability in motors is to establish a motor plan. A motor plan allows decisions to be made in advance of motor failure, and increases the options available. By ...
    • Industrial Decision Making 
      Elliott, R. N.; McKinney, V.; Shipley, A. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2008)
      Domestic industrial investment has declined due to unfavorable energy prices, and external markets. Investment behavior has changed over the past few years, and will continue due to high labor costs, tight markets and an ...

      Fuel cells have been touted as one of the most reliable and environmentally sound methods of producing high-quality electricity for use in the industrial sector. Fuel cell developers are racing to produce larger quantities ...
    • State Level Analysis of Industrial Energy Use 
      Elliott, R. N.; Shipley, A. M.; Brown, E. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2003-05)
      Most analyses of industrial energy use have been conducted at the national level, in part because of the difficulties in dealing with state level data. Unfortunately, this provides a distorted view of the industrial sector ...
    • State Opportunities for Action: Review of States' Combined Heat and Power Activities 
      Brown, E.; Scott, K.; Elliott, R. N. (2003-05)
      Combined heat and power (CHP) has been the focus of federal attention since the mid-1990s. However, many of the market barriers to CHP are at the state level. As a sign of the maturing of the CHP market, a number of states ...
    • Suggested Treatment of CHP Within an EERS Context
