  1. Certifying U.S. Manufacturing Plants for Energy Efficiency August, 2008

  2. Strategic Goals of Plant Certification • Fosters an organizational culture of continuous improvement in energy efficiency • Develops a transparent system to validate energy intensity improvements and management practices, and thus • Creates a verified record of energy source fuel savings and carbon emission reductions with potential market value that could be recognized both nationally and internationally

  3. Benefits of Plant Certification Establishes systematic means to achieve continuous improvement Standards for energy management and system assessments Tools and resources to assist in implementation Process for validation Focus on reducing energy intensity per unit of output Helps plants get on the path to improvement by adopting tools and resources Promotes buy-in to energy efficiency Applies to most companies (a wide range of industries) Delivers value to all plants, not just those that pursue certification Creates a transparent way to compare energy efficiency

  4. Superior Energy Performance Partnership • Collaboration of industry, government, and non-profit organizations • Seek to improve the energy intensity of U.S. manufacturing through a series of initiatives. • Support Plant Certification program www.superiorenergyperformance.net

  5. Best plants Impact on All Manufacturing Plants’ Energy Performance Advanced Technology(Future) Number of Plants Average plants Worst plants Practicalminimum EnergyPerformance Over Time

  6. Pilot Plant Program To Test Certification Standards and Overall Certification Process Certifying Plants for Energy Efficiency Energy Management Standard System Assessment Standards Plant Certification Program Design Measurement & Verification Protocol

  7. ANSI-accredited Certification of Manufacturing Plants for Energy Efficiency Energy Management Standard Management processes Plan-Do-Check-Act ANSI Management Sys for Energy (MSE) 2008 – Ga Tech ISO MSE: 2011 ASME steam, process heating, pumping & compressed air standards System Assessment Standards Technical protocols in conducting assessment with flexibility on approach Plant Certification Program Design Measurement & Verification Protocol Third party validation of energy intensity improvement for overall plant Balance of accuracy of performance measurement & cost of performing M&V Potential credits

  8. Basic Elements of ANSI Management System for Energy (MSE 2000:2008) www.ansi.org

  9. Looking Forward: Key Milestones • Feb. 2010: First plants are ANSI certified for energy efficiency, based on pilot program results • Sept. 2010: National launch of third-party certification program • Dec. 2010: ISO Energy Management Standard published; replaces ANSI energy management standard • Sept. 2011: Third party fee-based, certification business model established • June 2008: Texas Pilot project begins field testing ANSI energy management standard and system assessment standards • Feb. 2009: Select third-party certifying organization • May 2009: Begin field testing of measurement and verification methodology in pilot plants • Dec. 2009: Begin training certified practitioners in energy management and system assessments

  10. Future Certification Infrastructure Overall Plant Certification Standard Third Party Certifying Organization (TBD) Energy Management Standard Energy Management Practitioners Manufacturing Plants Seeking Certification System Assessment Standards System Assessment Practitioners Measurement & Verification Protocol Measurement & Verification Certifiers

  11. Comprehensive Plant Energy Management Energy Intensity Baselining Energy Management Standard US manufacturing plants certified based on demonstrated energy intensity improvement System Assessment Standards Tools, Training & Assessments Energy Saving Actions Measurement & Verification ANSI-Accredited 3rd Party Certifier Utility, State, Federal Incentives; Carbon Credits Recognition & Credits
