Industrial Assessment Centers
The Bradley University Industrial Assessment Center
has performed over 300 energy assessments for small manufacturers
throughout Illinois, Indiana,
and Missouri
since its inception in 1993.
The Industrial Assessment Centers are sponsored
by the Industrial Technologies Program in the U.S. Department of Energy’s
office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. They provide eligible
small- and medium-sized manufacturers with no-cost energy assessments.
Additionally, the IACs serve as a training ground
for the next-generation of energy savvy engineers. There are currently 26
schools across the country participating in the IAC Program. For additional
information on other centers, visit the Department of Energy’s website.
The Federal Government has
been funding industrial assessments for small and medium sized
manufacturing firms under the auspices of the IAC program [formerly called
the Energy Analysis and Diagnostic Center (EADC) program] since 1976. As a
component of the National Energy Strategy, the IAC program is a major
energy conservation initiative of the U.S. Department of Energy. It also
addresses the issues of waste reduction and productivity improvements.
Assessments are performed at no cost to the manufacturer by teams of
faculty and students from engineering schools at participating
universities. The program has been highly successful since its inception.
Beginning in 1976 with four schools, there are now 26 universities
operating IACs.
Program management for the IACs is provided by the Center for Advanced Energy Systems
(CAES) at Rutgers University.
The field managers provide valuable feedback on the reports produced by
each center. In addition, they maintain a database of
recommendations made by all centers since 1981.
