Use this tool to benchmark the energy performance of nitrogenous fertilizer plants and determine the plant's ENERGY STAR 1 to 100 energy performance score.
This 5-page guide is intended to help colleges and universities understand the landscape of available software, compare features, and ultimately select the right set of tools. It also summarizes recent trends in sustainability data management and provides a simple framework for creating a data management roadmap at your institution.
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.
Use this tool to determine the ENERGY STAR 1 - 100 energy performance score of your automobile engine plant. The Energy Performance Indicator (EPI) will help your company improve its energy efficiency by comparing your energy performance to similar automobile engine plants in the U.S. and Canada. 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.
This report describes the data and statistical methods used to construct the Energy Performance Indicator (EPI) for metal casting plants. It also explains how the EPIs were developed to provide a plant-level indicator of energy efficiency by working with the metal casting industry. This report is useful if you would like background information on how EPA's ENERGY STAR metal casting plant EPIs were developed. The report presents the individual equations used to develop the EPIs.
Use this tool to determine the ENERGY STAR 1 - 100 energy performance indicator score of your integrated steel plant. The Energy Performance Indicator (EPI) will help your company improve its energy efficiency by comparing your energy performance to similar integrated steel plants in the U.S. and Canada. 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.
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 data and statistical methods used to construct the Energy Performance Indicator (EPI) for pulp, paper, and paperboard mill plants. It also explains how the EPI was developed to provide a plant-level indicator of energy efficiency by working with the pulp and paper mill industry. This report is useful if you would like background information on how EPA's ENERGY STAR Pulp and Paper Mill 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.
This report describes the work of EPA and the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry to develop an Energy Performance Indicator (EPI) for facilities that develop and manufacture pharmaceutical products 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 pharmaceutical manufacturing plants. The equations are presented with instructions for using them in an associated Excel spreadsheet.
