In March 1999, the Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (the Alliance) funded an initiative called “Just Enough Air: Efficient Pneumatic Conveying” (JEA). The initiative’s objective was to increase the energy efficiency of industrial low-pressure pneumatic conveying systems (PCS), with an initial focus on the secondary wood products industry. In August 2002, the Alliance contracted with Currents Consulting to prepare this report covering JEA’s accomplishments, market effects, and lessons learned. These are briefly listed below and described in detail in the body of the report.
