• Overview of the Challenge for Industry
• Review steps for taking the Challenge

Background
ENERGY STAR:
• is a voluntary government program managed by the U.S.
EPA
• goal is to protect the environmental and jobs by improving energy efficiency
• promotes the development of energy management programs.
• develops tools to track and benchmark energy performance
• offers recognition to help motivate change
ABA & ENERGY STAR
• ABA have formed to a
partnership to promote energy
efficiency in the Baking industry
• Developing tools & resources
• Launching the Challenge
4
Recognition is a tool!
• Creates a “prize” for good energy
management
• Helps to engage and motivate people
• Raises awareness about energy
efficiency opportunities &
responsibilities
• Builds support for energy initiatives

ENERGY STAR Recognition
Recognizes sites that
reduce their energy
intensity by 10% within 5
years
Recognizes world-class corporate
energy management programs.
Recognizes world-class corporate
energy management programs.
Recognizes plants that qualify in the top
quartile of the ENERGY STAR energy
performance scale
7
Challenge for Industry
What does it recognize?
10 % improvement in energy intensity within 5
years or less.
Calculated against an internal baseline at an
industrial site.
– Baseline can be set retrospectively 3 years – if an
ENERGY STAR partner during that time.
8
Who can participate?
• Any industrial site can take the Challenge. – No offices or warehouses.
• International sites of companies that are ENERGY STAR Partners can take the Challenge.
• To get official recognition, the site’s company must be an ENERGY STAR partner.
– A site can take the Challenge and their company can become an
ENERGY STAR partner at later date.
9
How It Works
Sites participate by:
• Selecting an energy intensity metric
• Establishing a baseline.
• Setting a 10% improvement in 5 years
goal.
• Signing-up for the Challenge with ABA.
• Verify savings if goal is achieved.
10
What you get
• Framed Certificate
• Communications materials
• Profiled on energystar.gov
• Letter to CEO from EPA
• Bragging rights
11
Why take the Challenge?
• Creates an objective for your energy program and sites.
• Reinforces energy management best practices.
• Opportunity to link your energy efforts to ENERGY STAR and a broader campaign.
• Opportunity to leverage the ENERGY STAR brand in communicating your accomplishment.
• Opportunity to gain recognition for your achievements from the U.S. EPA.
12
The Fine Print
• No legal commitments – ENERGY STAR is a voluntary program.
• No annual reporting.
• No penalties or consequences for not achieving the Challenge.
• Must have a PE verify energy efficiency reductions.
• Must join the ENERGY STAR partnership to get recognition for achieving the Challenge goal. – Joining ENERGY STAR is a very easy process.
Companies with sites in the Challenge
13
Results to date
• Over 300 Sites have taken the Challenge
for Industry
• 67 Sites have achieved the Challenge
• Over 12.8 Trillion BTUs Saved!
– Enough to power 288,000 homes for a year
• Over 700,000 MTCO2e saved!
The Challenge for Industry was formally launched in May 2010.
Current figures current as of October 2011
Achieving the Challenge
• Greatest % Reduction: 33% in 1 year – GM Lordstown Assembly
Plant
• Greatest Total Savings: 305,000 mmbtu (in 1 year) – Detroit Diesel
Redford Plant
• Greatest On-going % Reduction: Boeing Douglas Center - 39.3%
(On 3rd baseline)
• Average % reduction: 13% with 1.5 years
• Average savings: 193,500 mmbtus
• Many sites are reporting savings where achieved through low or no
cost operational improvements!
17
Challenge Step 1
• Identify an energy intensity metric:
– If 60% of your energy is in process loads, use an a production
based metric (BTU / Pound of Product)
– 60% of your energy is in buildings systems, use a building metric (BTU/sq ft)
• Must capture all major energy sources (gas, electric, etc.)
• Draw from existing metrics, if appropriate
• Must convert to BTUs and “source” energy
Site and Source Energy
Site Energy: the energy used at a site.
18
Source Energy: the
energy required to
produce the energy
used at site.
Converting to source energy does make your numbers look bigger, but will not disadvantage your reductions.
19
“Translate to source”
Source-Site Ratios used by ENERGY STAR
Fuel Type Source-Site Ratio
Electricity (Grid Purchase) 3.340
Electricity (On-site Solar or Wind Installation) 1.0
Natural Gas 1.047
Fuel Oil (1,2,4,5,6, Diesel, Kerosene) 1.01
Propane & Liquid Propane 1.01
Steam (Purchased) 1.45
Hot Water (Purchased) 1.35
Chilled Water (Purchased) 1.05
Wood / Biomass 1.0
Coal / Coke 1.0
Process Gases 1.0
Other fuels burned on site 1.0
20
Why convert to source?
Site Source Year 1
( Purchased
electric only)
40,000 BTU 133600 BTU
Year 2
(on site
renewable added)
38,000 BTU
2,000
40,000 BTY
126,920 BTU
2,000
= 128,929 BTU
Efficiency
improvement
0 % 6671 BTUs
5% savings
Converting to source energy captures electrical efficiency gains from on-site generation.
21
Challenge Step 2
• Select an energy tracking method
– If you have a system, use it. Or,
– Use the ENERGY STAR Energy Tracking Tool if you do not have an existing system.
– If using a building metric, consider using Portfolio Manager which weather normalizes
22
Challenge Step 3
• Set a baseline: – Baseline intensity is based on any 12 continuous months of data.
– Baseline is set for a 12 month period prior to taking the Challenge. (e.g. 2009)
– Sites at ENERGY STAR partner companies can set their baseline back 3 years, if a partner during that time.
• Calculate the 10% reduction goal: – Baseline = 500 BTUs/lbs product
– 10% improvement = 50 BTUs/lbs product reduction
– Target annual intensity = 450 BTUs/lbs product
23
Challenge Step 4
• Verify data management procedures:
– If you have data management procedures ,
your probably done!
– If you don’t have procedures or aren’t sure,
use the Energy Tracking Plan Template
– Energy Tracking Plans do not need to be sent
to EPA.
24
Why data management procedures?
• Track energy intensity overtime requires some minimal record keeping.
• These records will need to be review during the verification process for achieving the challenge.
Data management procedures basically address:
• Whose responsible for collecting data?
• What is the source of energy data?
• What is the source of the production data?
• Where are the original records kept?
• How is it tracked?
25
Challenge Step 5
• Sign up for the Challenge!
– Send registration form to ABA
– Registration form involves:
• Providing site contact information
• Metric used
• Baseline energy intensity
• Verify data procedures (check box)
• Target intensity
• No cost information is required!
26
Challenge Step 6
• Track energy use
– Track the impact of the energy program over
time.
– Must measure and track energy intensity in
the same way over time.
– You’ll need to maintain records on energy use
and production for eventual verification.
27
Challenge Step 7
• Verify Energy Savings – A PE must review energy data and production data
and associated documents.
– Fill out the Statement of Energy Improvement
– Upon completion of PE’s review, have the PE stamp and certify that the data is accurate.
• Is your company an ENERGY STAR Partner? – Necessary for getting EPA recognition.
28
ENERGY STAR Partnership
Join at the company level.
Partnership is not a legally binding commitment or contract with EPA.
The ENERGY STAR Partnership letter is an energy management tool:
• Kick off energy initiative
• Take existing program to next level.
Partners commit to improve energy performance, but:
• No reporting
• No mandatory goals
