There is an enormous gap in the electric productivity of the nation. If the country achieved the normalized industrial electric productivity of the top ten performing states, the U.S. would save 300,000 gigawatt-hours (GWh) each year, over the lifetime of the efficiency measures. This is the...2009 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 5, Paper 1

Energy consumers, especially large industrial consumers, more and more are looking to reduce risk their businesses face from price and supply uncertainties in energy derived from fossil fuels. Energy efficiency provides a proven resource to reduce overall risk impacts from future energy prices. In...2009 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 5, Paper 2

Most energy efficiency programs are based on the assumption that inadequate technical information and poor financial returns are the primary barriers to implementing energy efficiency projects. If this is true, then why are so many energy audits sitting on shelves gathering dust? Why are utilities...2009 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 5, Paper 3
David Carter, Kansas State University Pollution Prevention Institute• • •
Time and money are two obstacles that often prevent companies from implementing energy efficiency projects. To mitigate these concerns, the Kansas State University (K-State) Pollution Prevention Institute (PPI) began an intern program that places engineering students at commercial facilities, to...2009 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 5, Paper 4

Industry utilizes very complex systems, consisting of equipment and their human interface, which are organized to meet the production needs of the business. Effective and sustainable energy efficiency programs in an industrial setting require a systems approach to optimize the integrated whole...2009 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 5, Paper 5

This paper summarizes the results of a 2009 survey of corporate energy efficiency strategies, conducted by the Pew Center on Global Climate Change. Forty-eight companies, ranging in size from 8 billion to $99 billion in revenues, completed the survey. Key results included an average energy savings...2009 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 5, Paper 6

As energy efficiency programs spread throughout the country, more industrial energy efficiency projects are coming to fruition. Commonwealth Edison (ComEd) in Chicago launched their Smart Ideas for your Business Program in June 2008. The market was ripe for the program, and interest was phenomenal...2009 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 5, Paper 7

Calls for 80% greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions by mid-century are becoming the norm worldwide, and these reductions are likely to include a large component of energy efficiency-based GHG reduction strategies. The 2030 "extreme energy efficiency" goal to halve US energy use by...2009 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 5, Paper 8

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 productivity and decreased waste. However, many cost-effective projects are not...2009 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 5, Paper 9

Many businesses and large national lenders are conserving capital due to market uncertainties. While organizations cannot control the economy, they can control their energy expenditures, which is a good defensive position in a recessionary environment. Most efficiency projects require capital;...
