Industrial Energy Auditing: An Opportunity for Improving Energy Efficiency and Industrial Competitiveness
Abstract
This paper describes the Department of
Energy's industrial energy auditing program,
its achievements to date, and future plans.
The Energy Analysis and Diagnostic Center
(EADC) Program provides no-cost energy audits
to small and medium size manufacturers, and
recommends ways to cut plant energy use. The
program is conducted by universities for the
DOE, and has performed over 3600 audits since
1976.
Approximately 55 percent of the recommendations
made through the EADC program are
implemented by industry. Since program
inception, audit recommendations have produced
a cumulative national energy savings of
about 67 trillion Btus, valued at $365
million.
The National Energy Strategy (NES) has
identified industrial energy audits as a
cost-effective means to reduce energy
consumption in industry. In support of the
NES, the EADC program is expanding, and plans
to have 40 operational EADCs by the year
2000. Through outreach activities, EADCs will
also encourage similar private-sector
programs, e.g. utility-conducted industrial
audits performed for demand-side management
programs.
