This paper reports on the work of EPA and the integrated steel industry to develop an Energy Performance Indicator (EPI) for integrated mills that develop and manufacture steel in the United States. The paper describes the data and statistical methods used to construct the EPI for evaluating the energy performance of integrated steel mills in the U.S. and Canada. 

Use this tool to benchmark the energy performance of aluminum casting plants and determine the plant's ENERGY STAR 1 to 100 energy performance score.

Use this tool to determine the ENERGY STAR 1 - 100 energy performance indicator score of your automobile assembly plant. The Energy Performance Indicator (EPI) will help your company improve its energy efficiency by comparing your energy performance to similar automobile assembly 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 ENERGY STAR certification for superior energy performance.

Benchmarking Industrial Energy Performance explains and visualizes energy benchmarking and how to benchmark plant performance with ENERGY STAR Energy Performance Indicators (EPIs). It depicts how EPIs are created and the value a company receives when comparing the energy performance of its plants to plants in its industry with similar characteristics. When inputting plant data in EPIs, use this guide to understand how an EPI works and how it can be used to help set plant energy performance improvement goals and save money.

Use this tool to determine your cement plant's energy performance. The Energy Peformance Indicator (EPI) will help your company improve its energy efficiency by comparing your energy performance to similar cement 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.

Use this tool to benchmark the energy performance of commercial bread and roll bakeries and determine the plant's ENERGY STAR 1 to 100 energy performance score.
