Industrial Energy Efficiency Program

The Alabama Industrial Energy Efficiency Program promotes energy efficiency opportunities to small and medium sized manufacturers to improve their profitability by reducing their energy costs. The State Energy Office partners with the U. S. Department of Energy (DOE) Advanced Manufacturing Office and universities to provide resources to increase energy efficiency for Alabama industries. The program also provides education and training on the use of alternative energy sources and lean productivity processes in manufacturing.

University of Alabama Industrial Assessment Center (AIAC)

The University of Alabama is home to one of 26 Department of Energy sponsored Industrial Assessment Centers.  Their mission is to assist small to medium sized manufacturing industries in Alabama with energy conservation, waste reduction, and productivity increases.  In 2010, six Alabama companies that have worked with the AIAC were recognized for their reduced energy usage.
