Since 1976 the USDOE Industrial Assessment Centers (IAC)'s university-based teams of faculty and student engineers have been provide no-cost energy, productivity, and waste assessments to small and medium sized US manufacturers nationwide. Over 18,000 assessments have been conducted with over 138,000 recommendations resulting in billions in energy and cost savings.

The Packaged Combined Heat and Power Catalog (eCatalog) is a voluntary public/private partnership designed to increase deployment of CHP in commercial, institutional and multi-family buildings and manufacturing plants. The core of the eCatalog are CHP Packagers who commit to provide pre-engineered and tested Packaged CHP systems that meet or exceed DOE performance requirements and CHP Solutions Providers who commit to provide responsible installation, commissioning, maintenance and service of recognized Packaged CHP systems and also provide a single point of responsibility.

The 50001 Ready Navigator is an online application that provides step-by-step guidance for implementing and maintaining an energy management system in conformance with the ISO 50001 Energy Management System Standard.

The Distributed Generation (DG) for Resilience Planning Guide provides information and resources on how DG, with a focus on combined heat and power (CHP), can help communities meet resilience goals and ensure critical infrastructure remains operational regardless of external events. If used in combination with a surveying of critical infrastructure at a regional level, this guide also provides tools and analysis capabilities to help decision makers, policy makers, utilities, and organizations determine if DG is a good fit to support resilience goals for critical infrastructure in their specific jurisdiction, territory, or organization.

EnPI Lite estimates energy savings using regression analysis relative to relevant variables like production levels and weather.

The Energy Footprint Tool helps manufacturing, commercial, and institutional facilities to track their energy consumption, factors related to energy use, and significant energy end-use. This is collectively referred to as the facility’s energy footprint.

The Center for Advanced Energy Systems (CAES) creates, supports, and facilitates growth of new technologies and practices for energy systems that drive industry in our nation. CAES activities include conducting research and sharing knowledge through education and technology transfer, and helping to shape current and future energy policies.

King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM) is developing an USDOE Industrial Assessment Center style program with the assistance of ORNL, USDOE, and State Department.

The Superior Energy Performance® (SEP™) program provides a transparent, globally recognized system that facilities can use to improve their energy management and performance. SEP builds on the ISO 50001 framework for an energy management system (EnMS) and provides targets for improvements in energy performance.

The Steam System Modeler Tool provides a variety of steam related calculations and models with comprehensive calculation descriptions and details.

The Process Heating Assessment and Survey Tool (PHAST) introduces methods to improve thermal efficiency of heating equipment. This tool helps industrial users survey process heating equipment that consumes fuel, steam, or electricity, and identifies the most energy-intensive equipment.

Conducted U.S. Department of Energy supported international outreach energy assessments at some of the largest industrial facilities in the Kazakhstan including KazPhosphate's Taraz location. ICF International provided additional assistance through their support of USAID's Central Asian Energy Efficiency Support Program (CAEESP).

In 2009, President Barack Obama and President Hu Jintao announced the launch of a new U.S.-China Energy Efficiency Action Plan to strengthen the economy, improve energy security and combat climate change by reducing energy waste in both countries.

Brazil’s Eletrobras is interested in developing an Industrial Assessment Center style industrial energy assessment proggram.

The New Jersey state energy office received federal funding to conduct industrial energy assessments.

The Save Energy Now® program provided technical assistance and resources to companies that pledge significant improvements in industrial energy efficiency.

The purpose of this database is to provide current information on service life and maintenance costs of typical HVAC equipment. Engineers depend on accurate owning and operating data to make decisions involving the life cycle and functionality of buildings. However, lack of sufficient up-to-date data makes it difficult to provide a solid basis for those decisions. Previous efforts to collect data through traditional survey methods have produced less than acceptable results.

The USDOE plant wide assessments were multi-day industrial assessments evaluating the entire manufacturing process in fine detail from start to finish for energy saving opportunities.
