July 20, 2005—The US Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) recently announced a new way of documenting and recognizing successful energy-efficiency projects resulting from the DOE Qualified Specialist and Allied Partner programs.
DOE’s new “Performance Spotlights” highlight industry projects that are saving energy and money today, thanks to the assistance of Allied Partners and Qualified Specialists who use software tools developed by BestPractices to make bottom-line contributions and operating improvements to industrial companies.
Allied Partners are manufacturers, trade associations, industrial service and equipment providers, utilities, and other organizations that help promote increased energy efficiency and productivity. Qualified Specialists are industry professionals recognized by DOE who identify cost-cutting and efficiency opportunities in industrial plants.
Download examples of Performance Spotlights from the DOE Web site. Examples include Austin Energy, Canandaigua Wines, Ford Van Dyke, Kodak, and the San Jose Mercury News.
