【 摘 要 】

This project consisted primarily of conducting energy efficiency, productivity improvement, and waste reduction assessments of small- and medium-sized industrial facilities. These assessments were carried out by groups of engineering students, mostly from Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering and Industrial Engineering, led by faculty members at Arizona State University. The assessed industries were generally energy-intensive manufacturers located throughout Arizona, as well as some facilities in the Las Vegas, Nevada area. During the first four years of the project period, on average our recommended annual savings per plant were $224,717, of which $71,135 were energy savings. Of these recommended savings, on average $49,659 were implemented, of which $31,679 were implemented annual energy savings. These implemented savings greatly exceeded our budgeted cost to DOE, which was approximately $8,000/assessment. In addition, a number of undergraduate and graduate students were employed and trained at the IAC, and have gone on to graduate studies and engineering careers.
