The United States Industrial sector consumes about one-third of the energy used by the U.S. The Alliance to Save Energy works with the U.S. Department of Energy’s Industrial Technologies Program (DOE-ITP) conducting analysis, outreach, and awareness for the DOE-ITP’s “Save Energy Now” initiative, which helps industrial plants operate more efficiently and profitably by identifying ways to reduce energy use in key industrial process systems. In addition, the Alliance is active in an industry-led effort to create a plant certification program for industrial facilities and is helping develop assessment standards to help facilities assess their steam, process heating, compressed air, and pumping systems.
The Alliance promotes partnerships between industry and DOE, and works to raise awareness of energy efficiency improvement opportunities through trade press, web content, and newsletter support.
Current Alliance projects include: collaborating with Berkeley Lab and others to develop industrial system assessment standards; leading efforts to raise awareness and interest in system assessment standards and evolving plant certification programs; leveraging existing DOE Best Practices Steam resources and working with industry advisors to DOE on industrial steam topics.
