Where can I get detailed information on energy consumption and losses within a typical industrial plant?
ITP's Energy Footprint studies map the flow of energy supply, demand, and losses in U.S. manufacturing industries.
Each footprint illustrates:
- What energy is purchased from utilities (electricity, fossil fuels), generated onsite, and transported to the local grid
- Where and how energy is used within a typical plant, from central boilers to motors.
- Where energy is lost due to inefficiencies, both inside and outside the plant boundary.
