  • Small to Medium Industrial SEM Energy Savings Validation

    To determine whether Strategic Energy Management (SEM) can be effectively delivered within small to medium business facilities and whether energy savings from this effort can be measured, NEEA contracted with EnerNOC to implement a pilot with two cohorts of small (1-999 thousand kWh/yr) to medium (1-100 million kWh/yr) sized industrial facilities in Montana in SEM…

  • Energy Baseline Methodologies for Industrial Facilities

    The Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (NEEA) contracted with EnerNOC Utility Solutions to provide definition to the process for establishing and documenting energy baselines for industrial facilities. Energy baselines are foundational to a robust energy management program, however, industrial facility energy baseline methodologies are neither well known nor consistently implemented. The paper describes a straightforward six-step…

  • NEEA Previously Funded Initiative: 80 PLUS

    The devices used to power desktop computers had not seen any significant improvements for many years, even as a jump in computer purchases was rapidly increasing energy consumption in the Northwest. The region’s utilities estimated that the introduction of more efficient power supply technology could save 82 kWh per machine per year. The 80 PLUS…

  • NEEA Previously Funded Initiative: CFLs

    In 1997, market share for CFLs did not even reach one percent. Although a small number of manufacturers offered CFLs, quality was inconsistent, average prices  were high ($14 to $24 per bulb), product features such as bulb size and shape did  not meet the average consumer’s expectations, and awareness of the energy- and money-saving benefits…

  • NEEA Previously Funded Initiative: Drive Power

    In 1999, clear energy-efficiency data and life cycle analysis information were not available to customers making the decision to repair, rewind or buy new industrial motors. Rewinding a motor keeps operating costs the same or sometimes raises them, while investing money in a more energyefficient model reduces operating costs over the motor’s lifetime. Service centers…

  • Energy Savings from NEMA Premium Electric Motors in the Northwest in 2012

    In late 2010, energy efficiency standards that require electric motors to meet National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) Premium™ efficiency levels became effective in the United States. This federal regulation represented a significant increase in the energy efficiency requirements that the Energy Policy Act (EPAct) mandated for electric motors. This report estimates the annual energy savings…

  • NEEA Market Progress Evaluation Report #7: Evaluation of NEEA’s Industrial Initiative

    This is the seventh Market Progress Evaluation Report (MPER) on the progress and accomplishments of the Industrial Initiative (the Initiative) of the Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (NEEA). The Initiative focuses on Strategic Energy Management (SEM), which NEEA defines as a system of practices that creates reliable, persistent energy savings.

  • Long-Term Monitoring and Tracking Report on 2011 Activities

    Market transformation initiatives, by their nature, create change over the long term. An S-shaped diffusion curve can represent the developing and launching of new products and services, which have relatively little market impact in the initial years, and the major market effects occurring several years after the initiative’s launch. The Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (NEEA)…

  • Strategic Energy Management Market Assessment Study: Dairies, Irrigators, and Nurseries

    For the current funding cycle (2010 to 2014), the Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance’s (NEEA) Industrial Sector will target new markets in the Northwest region.  NEEA engaged Market Strategies to conduct a research study to establish a baseline of Strategic Energy Management (SEM) practices in the new markets of interest in order to compare against future…
