The Industrial Technologies Program (ITP) launched the Save Energy Now initiative to assist U.S. manufacturing plants in reducing their energy use; Energetics designed a recognition program for ITP to acknowledge those partners who excelled in implementing energy-saving measures.
Client Need
After launching the Save Energy Now initiative, which assessed energy use of U.S. manufacturing plants, ITP needed a process to recognize facilities that successfully implemented assessment recommendations to cut energy use and cost and a program that would encourage other plants to make energy use changes.
Solution
Energetics helped ITP to define criteria for levels of recognition, design plaques and award certificates along with a plan for distributing awards, develop communication strategy for notifying plants and tracking correspondence, find industry events and public venues to hold recognition ceremonies and present awards to plants in front of their peers, highlight top achievers on the Save Energy Now webpage (ongoing).
Results
Today, more than 170 manufacturing plants have been recognized for implementing energy-saving measures and more than 700 plants applied for and received assessments.
