Energy Efficiency: No Cost Assessment Available ...
DOE provides no cost energy assessments to identify efficiency opportunities ...
... "The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced that a three-day industrial Energy Saving Assessment will take place at the Nucor Steel – Nebraska facility in Norfolk, Nebraska, as part of the comprehensive national energy efficiency effort undertaken by the Bush Administration. Through no-cost assessments, DOE is working with major manufacturing facilities to identify energy- and money-saving opportunities, primarily by focusing on steam and process heating systems.
DOE's Energy Saving Teams have completed visits to 33 large federal facilities and are in the process of visiting 200 of the most energy-intensive manufacturing facilities in the United States as part of the national Easy Ways to Save Energy campaign launched by Secretary Bodman on October 3, 2005. The first 22 ESAs have identified, in aggregate, more than $78 million per year in potential energy cost savings and could reduce natural gas consumption by more than nine trillion Btu per year, equivalent to the natural gas consumed annually by more than 125,000 homes.
