Discussion
• History • Emphasis on corporate energy
management• Overview of work with manufacturers• Focus on specific industries
– Plant energy performance indicators– Energy guides– Focus meetings
• Areas for coordination
3
ENERGY STAR
• Government-backed program that helps businesses and industry protect the environment through superior energy performance by providing energy-efficient solutions for plants, businesses, and manufacturing processes
• Government-owned and controlled brand recognized by more than 60% of all U.S. households
• National symbol for environmental protection and energy efficiency
4
Why manufacturers?
• Big energy users - about a third of the energy in the U.S. as a group
• Greenhouse gas emissions - about 27% of U.S. carbon dioxide emissions
• Room for improvement – energy intensity can be improved for most industries & companies
5
History with manufacturers
• 1991 – EPA develops Green Lights, transformation of national market for energy-efficient lighting. Emphasized corporate commitment & worked with major manufacturing companies
• 1992 – EPA introduces ENERGY STAR with the first qualified product line of computers and monitors
• 1996 – EPA launches ENERGY STAR effort to improve energy use in buildings, working with owners of all types
• 2000 – EPA creates focus under ENERGY STAR for manufacturing energy. Works with U.S.-based manufacturing industries to improve corporate energy management
6
Why energy management?
Strategic energy management is
basic to the control of climate risk
(i.e. carbon dioxide emissions)
7
Approach
• Corporate-wide energy management– Work with industries and companies to
improve strategic energy management at the CORPORATE level
• Manufacturers of all types with specialized focuses for individual sectors
8
Why corporate energy management?
• Energy management often is:– Decentralized– Not part of a company’s core business– Technology-oriented– Project- and not system-oriented– Considered capital intensive– Not viewed as a profit center
• Result: important energy savings are missed because the company lacks a means for controlling energy use across all operations
9
What distinguishes manufacturersachieving superior energy performance?
Superior energy management based on the
principle of continuous improvement
Acknowledgement, recognition & and national exposure
10
Why manufacturersparticipate in ENERGY STAR
• Share best practices– Learn from each other– Share new technologies
• Reduce energy costs & emissions
• Demonstrate environmental leadership
• Improve competitiveness
11
Emphasis with manufacturers
• Centralized corporate energy management
– ENERGY STAR systems approach for the
continual improvement of energy performance– ENERGY STAR and its tools support this
central goal– Avoids duplication with other Federal and state
programs
12
Promoting corporate energy management
• Basic energy management: ENERGY STAR Guidelines for Energy Management
– Energy Management 101– Successful: second most download from Buildings & Plants web page
• Energy program assessment matrix– Assess areas for improving corporate program
• Facility energy assessment matrix– Assess areas for improving energy management in plant or facility
• Teaming up to save energy – How to for pulling a corporate-wide energy team together
• Communication resources– Posters and other materials
• Partner networking– Available to commercial and industrial partners
• Partnership with ENERGY STAR– Elevates energy management to executive level
• Recognition– Partner of the Year– ENERGY STAR for plants – new label for energy-efficient plants
13
Steps for successful energy management
ENERGY STAR Guidelines for Energy Management
-outlines steps to close the gap between energy leaders and laggards
-based on best practices from ENERGY STAR partners-www.energystar.gov

Goals of work with specific industrial sectors
• FOCUSES identify best performance and promote corporate energy management
• Assist companies to develop strong corporate energy management programs
• Encourage use of benchmarking for measuring improvement at the plant level
• Promote use of available technology now• Enable companies to learn from each other -
efficiency forum
17
Benchmark facilityenergy efficiency
• A critical step in energy management– Enables aggressive and realistic target setting– Supports finding and applying best practices along
with proving their value• ENERGY STAR: Performance is proven by numbers
• EPA’s National Performance Rating System– Commercial & industrial facilities
• Commercial buildings – rating system available for over 50% of U.S. commercial floor space
• Industrial facilities – plant energy performance indicators (EPIs) for 3 plant types and in development for 4 more
18
Answer: Common Knowledge
Plant benchmarking – difficult for most industries
Is 10 MPG high or low for a 2-door economy car?
Answer: ?
Is 10 mMBtu per vehicle high or low?
19
Specific assistance for the industrial sectors
• Annual industrial focuses– Create momentum for continued improvement of energy
efficiency– Identify and tackle barriers to energy efficiency in the industry– Promotes networking, refinement of tools, and sharing of best
practices specific to the industry
• Energy guides– Discuss the energy efficiency opportunities in a specific
industry’s manufacturing plants
• Plant energy performance indicators (EPIs) – Enables benchmarking of plant energy performance to the
national industry– Developed in cooperation with industry– Empowers corporations to set goals for improvement and
monitor progress
20
EPA objectives for the EPIs
• Enable a higher level of energy management• Enable industry to answer the question:
“If all plants in the industry look just like this one, what percent would be better performers and
what percent would be worse?”• Provide a ranking/percentile score of a plant’s energy
performance in the industry, relative to best observed performance within the specific industry– Base the EPI on actual energy use patterns in the industry and
activities that influence energy use– Normalize to the plant’s configuration and activities– Relate energy inputs to plant outputs, primary business of a
plant– Based on activities that influence energy use, e.g.
heating/cooling loads, material inputs, etc.

NOTE:
For US EPA Use Only:
3. An energy performance score of 75 is the minimum required rating to be considered eligible for the ENERGY STAR.
Professional Engineer Stamp
Based on the conditions observed at the time of my visit to this facility, I certify that the information used in this tool to generate the energy performance score represented on this statement is accurate.
1. Applications for recognition of plant energy performance to the US EPA must be made within 4 months of Period Ending date. Award of the ENERGY STAR is not final until approved by the US EPA.
2. All EPI scores and supporting data must first be verified by the US EPA or a US EPA-designated EPI reviewer if supporting data is considered to be confidential business information (CBI) before submitting applications for the ENERGY STAR.
EPI attached for EPA review.
EPI contains confidential business information and has been sent to the designated reviewer.
