Change in the average input intensity of energy flows in industry is commonly broken out into three separate components; change due to technological change, structural change and input substitution. Energy saving technological change can either be embodied or disembodied. Embodied technological...2009 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 1, Paper 14

Through a Comprehensive Energy Management joint demonstration project, Grays Harbor Paper (GHP) was able to see the value and import of the energy champion and as a result, cost-justified the staffing of this position. The energy champion's goal was to prove energy could be managed as a...2009 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 1, Paper 15

Industrial rebate dollars rarely find their way back to the budget of the department initiating the energy conservation measure. This problem creates a negative incentive for plant managers to participate in energy efficiency improvements. As industrial sector energy efficiency targets increase, it...2009 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 1, Paper 16
Ronald King, National Insulation Association• • •
This is the story of how mechanical insulation can improve your business and benefit the economy and the environment. You may think you have heard this story before, but now you can get the "rest of the story." Insulation is the "Rodney Dangerfield" of energy conservation and...2009 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 2, Paper 1
Christopher Russell, Energy Pathfinder Management Consulting• • •
Energy efficiency's promise of cost savings evokes little more than a yawn from industry's hard-nosed corporate leaders. For all its good work, the efficiency community usually offers a "one size fits all" message that is assumed to resonate evenly across all levels of an industrial...2009 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 2, Paper 2

Local governments often hold a wide range of facilities in their portfolio, all with unique and different end uses. The list of facilities for city or county governments can include swimming pools, office buildings, educational facilities, and water and wastewater treatment plants. There is great...2009 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 2, Paper 3

Improved efficiency of industrial systems (e.g., compressed air or steam) contributes to a manufacturing facility's bottom line, improves reliability, and better utilizes assets. Despite these advantages, many industrial facilities continue to have unrealized system optimization potential. A...2009 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 2, Paper 4

This paper presents the development status of the Superior Energy Performance (SEP) initiative. By building on industry's own skills with management systems, SEP seeks to use a different approach to standards (in the areas of energy management and system assessments) to promote continuous...2009 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 2, Paper 5

Computer power management features - standard in Windows and Macintosh operating systems - place monitors and computers (CPU, hard drive, etc.) into low-power "sleep modes" after a period of inactivity. Simply touching the mouse or keyboard "wakes" the computer and monitor in...2009 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 2, Paper 6

The EPA ENERGY STAR label is widely recognized as the symbol for energy-efficient office equipment and appliances. Not as well known are a number of EPA ENERGY STAR energy-efficiency efforts geared towards commercial and industrial entities. One of the most successful EPA energy efficiency efforts...
