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. 

This report describes the data and statistical methods used to construct the Energy Performance Indicators (EPIs) for fluid milk processing plants. It reviews how the EPIs were developed to provide plant-level indicators of energy performance by working with the dairy industry. The report also presents the individual equations used in the EPI.

This report describes the data and statistical methods used to construct the Energy Performance Indicators (EPIs) for automobile powertrain (engine & transmission) plants. It reviews how the EPIs were developed to provide plant-level indicators of energy performance by working with the motor vehicle  industry. The report also presents the individual equations used in the EPI.

This two page document provides an overview of the ENERGY STAR Energy Performance Indicator (EPI) for Fluid Milk and Yogurt Processing Plants. It describes what types of plants can use the use EPI, the data required to use the EPI, and background on ENERGY STAR certification.
