Program Plans, Implementation, and Results

The Industrial Technologies Program (ITP) works with U.S. industry to develop and deliver technologies and practices that improve industrial energy efficiency and environmental performance. This includes the Save Energy Now initiative, which aims to drive a 25% reduction in industrial energy intensity in 10 years. This Web page includes links to documents that support and document the program management process, and the results and benefits that derive from it.

The following documents are available as Adobe Acrobat PDFs. Download Adobe Reader.
