Recognition Eligibility Guidelines and Process
This page includes guidelines for being recognized by the Industrial Technologies Program (ITP) as a Save Energy Now Energy Saver or Energy Champion Plant, and the process for honoring award recipients.
Eligibility Guidelines
To qualify for an award, your company must participate in a Save Energy Now energy assessment and report the progress on schedule. The assessment can be completed by a DOE Energy Expert or Industrial Assessment Center. For more information read the Save Energy Now Recognition Guidelines (PDF 183 KB). Download Adobe Reader. Once you meet the criteria, your plant will be selected for one of the following awards:
- Energy Saver—More than 75,000 MMBtu total energy savings or more than 7.5% total energy savings.
- Energy Champion Plant—More than 250,000 MMBtu total energy savings or more than 15% total energy savings.
Recognition Process
As soon as ITP determines that your plant has met the qualifying criteria based on submitted progress reports, you will be notified that you are eligible for an award. Once you accept your award, your company will be publicly recognized at major industry meetings or ITP events each year and on the Save Energy Now Web site.
In addition to an award, you will receive access to an online recognition packet that includes logos and a customizable banner to help you publicize your success throughout your company and in your corporate communications.
