Abstract
Despite the recent economic downturn, market indicators suggest the industrial sector is poised for a new period of major capacity investments as existing capacity approaches full utilization. At the same time, global trends are encouraging a shift to domestic production for domestic consumption. These indicators represent a major opportunity to influence the energy efficiency of industrial facilities for generations to come (Elliott et al. 2008). Energy efficiency program providers will need new models to obtain large industrial energy efficiency savings. The Industrial Process Efficiency (IPE) Program offered by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) provides one such model.
