Energy management toolkit available soon
The US Department of Energy’s Industrial Technologies Program (ITP) is in the process of developing the Energy Management Toolkit. The forthcoming toolkit is a free integrated tool suite with two major components—technology solutions and an energy management portfolio.
The technology solutions portion of the toolkit will comprise the plant-wide and system-specific software tools that are currently offered by ITP to help energy managers assess energy use and identify savings opportunities within their facilities. From the Quick Plant Energy Profiler to MotorMaster+, all of the tools needed to improve energy management at industrial facilities will now be available in one central location.
New to ITP’s software repository, the toolkit will feature the Energy Management System Implementation Self-Paced Module, a baseline energy management plan to help energy managers set timelines and develop strategies for meeting energy efficiency goals in their facilities. Because the tool is self-paced, it can be easily adapted to the needs and energy reduction goals of any user’s facility.
Additionally, the energy management tool also provides plant managers with tips to help get employees engaged in efficiency measures, as well as pointers to assist in overcoming other roadblocks along the way to implementation.
The Energy Management Toolkit is scheduled for release in late April 2011. For more information, please visit http://www1.eere.energy.gov/industry/bestpractices/ software.html for more information about ITP’s software tool offerings
