Currently there are 26 Industrial Assessment Centers in the United States. These centers are located at particular universities across the US, and are funded by the Department of Energy as a means to spread ideas relating to industrial energy conservation.

The centers conduct research into energy conservation techniques for industrial applications. This is accomplished by performing energy audits or assessments at manufacturers near the particular center. As of September 2008, the IAC program had finished 14,000 assessment and made over 104,000 recommendations. [ [http://iac.rutgers.edu/database/about.php DOE EERE Industrial Assessment Center] ]

History

Industrial Assessment Centers (formerly called the Energy Analysis and Diagnostic Center (EADC) program) were created by the Office of Industrial Technology (OIT), a branch of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The Centers were created in 1976 to help small and medium-sized manufacturing facilities cut back on unnecessary costs from inefficient energy use, ineffective production procedures, excess waste production, and other production-related problems.
