The U.S. Department of Energy is promoting a new Industrial Energy Saving Teams program that offers free energy assessments for qualified businesses and a new website with energy saving tips.

The application period for the first round of assessments closes December 9.

Through free assessments, DOE Energy Saving Teams will work with individual facilities to identify opportunities to save energy and money, primarily by focusing on steam and process heating systems.

Interested companies can apply for a free energy assessment online.

DOE has developed a series of free, informational brochures detailing “Fifteen Tips to Help Your Plant Save Energy.” These materials are available by calling 877-337-3463.
