Development of a Performance-based Industrial Energy Efficiency Indicator for Cement Manufacturing Plants

This report describes the data and statistical methods used to construct the Energy Performance Indicator (EPI) for cement manufacturing plants. It also explains how the EPI was developed to provide a plant-level indicator of energy efficiency by working with the cement manufacturing industry. This report is useful if you would like background information on how EPA's ENERGY STAR Cement Manufacturing Plant EPI was developed. The report presents the individual equations used to develop the EPI, as well as instructions for using them in an associated Excel spreadsheet.
