Abstract
In the course of more than twenty years as an engineer involved directly in utility related projects in a number of industries, I have seen a great variety of energy efficiency projects and programs covering the entire spectrum of efficacy. The Deer Park, Texas plant of the Rohm and Haas Company has an energy management program that is unique in my experience and has proven to be highly successful. This program has resulted in a 17% reduction in energy use on a per pound of product basis saving 3.25 TRILLION BTUs and $15 Million each year! This paper discusses this program, its history, successes, and the unique characteristics that have contributed to those successes.
