EPA's ENERGY STAR Challenge for Industry encourages energy managers and industrial sites improve energy performance. Reference this one-page summary to learn about participant activity up to Winter 2016.

ChemTreat partners with Eastman Chemical Company to save over 17,000 MMBtu/year from refrigeration.

Use this tool to determine your container glass manufacuring plant's ENERGY STAR 1 - 100 energy performance indicator score. The Energy Peformance Indicator (EPI) will help your company improve its energy efficiency by comparing your energy performance to similar container glass manufacturing plants in the U.S. The spreadsheet includes instructions for using the EPI, a State of Energy Performance form, and a Facility Performance Report. Manufacturing plants that earn a 75 or higher using this EPI are eligible to earn the ENERGY STAR certification for superior energy performance.

This online calculator pulls weather station data--including heating and cooling degree days (HDD and CDD)--from more than 900 weather stations around the United States and Canada. Use the weather normalization data here to adjust your building's or industrial plant's energy usage data for changes in weather.

This report describes the work of EPA and the automobile manufacturing industry to develop an Energy Performance Indicator (EPI) for assembly plants. These types of plants are defined as those that produce passenger cars, light-duty trucks, sport utility vehicles, and vans in the United States. Learn how EPA uses EPIs to encourage industries to voluntarily improve their energy use. The report describes the data and statistical methods used to construct the EPI for automobile assembly plants. The equations are presented with instructions for using them in an associated Excel spreadsheet.
