ENERGY ACTION PLAN
ENERGY TREASURE HUNT• 2-3 day event to identify low/no cost
energy savings opportunities • Sub teams formed and focus on
OPERATIONS• Plant utilities• Process/Operations• Auxiliary equipment
• Summary presentation to plant management
ENERGY TREASURE HUNTS
Participate on Sub Team Finding energy savings ideas
Lead Sub Team Using Detail Sheets Presenting during closing meeting
Facilitate Treasure Hunt Organize resources Present during opening/closing meetings Verify energy savings Follow-up after event is over
IN-PLANT TRAINING
In-Plant Trainings (INPLTs) are system-specific workshops led by Better Plants experts that train participants on how to identify, implement, and replicate energy-saving projects.
Better Plant partners host an on-site, three-day training at one of their facilities, and invite others to attend. The training traditionally focus around a topic such as: Compressed air, Fans, Motor-driven systems,
Steam, Process heating, Pumps, Energy Management/ISO 50001

INDUSTRIAL ASSESSMENT CENTERS
Small- and medium-sized manufacturers may be eligible to receive a no-cost assessment provided by DOE Industrial Assessment Centers (IACs).
Teams located at 28 universities around the country conduct the energy audits to identify opportunities to improve productivity, reduce waste, and save energy.
IACs train the next-generation of energy savvy engineers, more than 60 percent of which pursue energy-related careers upon graduation.
IAC assessments are in-depth evaluations of a facility conducted by engineering faculty with upper class and graduate students from a participating university.
