Saving Energy and Reducing Costs at Small and Medium-sized US Manufacturers

The USDOE Industrial Assessment Centers (IACs) can help small and medium sized US manufacturers save energy, improve productivity, and reduce waste by providing no-cost technical assessments conducted by university based teams of engineering students and faculty.

After the site visit, the IAC team provides a comprehensive report with specific details on all opportunities for improving competitiveness identified during the assessment, including applicable rebates and incentives.

The IAC program has already conducted over 19,287 assessments with more than 145,359 associated recommendations. Average recommended yearly savings is $137,289.
