17. Sector Focuses

18. What is a focus? A focus is: –a concentrated effort to improve energy performance within a manufacturing sector Goals are to: –create momentum for continued energy performance in the sector –provide tools to enhance energy performance –encourage sharing of ideas and opportunities within the sector –uncover new energy saving opportunities with a specific sector

19. Current industries of focus Motor Vehicle Assembly Brewing Cement Corn Refiners more to come...

20. Key aspects of a focus Sector Energy Efficiency Assessment & Opportunities Report Plant Energy Performance Indicator (EPI) Stronger Network of Energy Managers

21. Specialized Report A technical opportunities assessment of energy efficiency in a manufacturing sector –industry-specific & cross-cutting technologies/practices –estimation of energy savings potential DOE’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory researches and prepares this with the sector

22. Energy Performance Indicator - the missing metric Answer: Common Knowledge Is 10 MPG high or low for a 2-door economy car? Answer: ? For your plants, do you know? Is an energy cost of $6.00 for every $100 of shipment value high or low?

23. Rationale for EPI development To enable sector energy managers to assess current performance To help companies set and track energy performance goals To help companies prioritize limited resources & apply them where they will have the most benefit
