National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Abstract	Even after years of training and awareness building at the state and national level, industrial cross-cutting systems (motor-driven,steam, process heating) continue to offer significant opportunities for energy savings. The US Department of Energy estimates these remaining savings at more than 7 percent of all industrial energy use. This paper presents a different approach to promoting industrial system energy efficiency--providing plant personnel with ready access to data upon which to base energy management decisions. In 2005, a Del Monte Foods fruit processing plant in Modesto, California worked with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) to specify and purchase permanent instrumentation for monitoring their compressed air system. This work, completed as part of a demonstration project under a State Technologies Advancement Collaborative (STAC) grant, was designed to demonstrate the effectiveness of enterprise energy management (EEM), which is predicated on the assumption that the energy efficiency of existing, cross-cutting industrial systems (motor-driven, steam) can be improved by providing management and operating personnel with real-time data on energy use.
