Benefits of an IAC Assessment
Why Manufacturers Should Consider an Assessment by the RI-IAC?
Uncover Significant Savings
An energy assessment conducted by the RI-IAC can identify substantial cost savings for your manufacturing facility. On average, each IAC assessment uncovers potential annual savings of approximately $85,841 in energy costs and 13,180 MMBtu in energy usage, translating to an 8.5% reduction in energy consumption. This not only reduces your operating costs but also enhances your competitiveness in the market.
Improve Operational Efficiency
RI-IAC assessments also focus on improving overall operational efficiency. Recommendations often include measures that can boost productivity and reduce waste, which can result in additional annual savings of around $45,612. These improvements are designed to streamline your processes, minimize waste, and maximize output, thereby enhancing your facility's overall efficiency.
Access to Grants and Financial Incentives
By participating in the IAC program, you may become eligible for grants and financial incentives. The Department of Energy (DOE) offers IAC implementation grants covering up to 50% of the costs associated with implementing the recommended improvements, with a maximum of $300,000 per manufacturer. This financial support can significantly reduce the upfront investment required to implement energy-saving measures.
No-Cost, No-Obligation Assessments
One of the most compelling reasons to participate in the IAC program is that the energy assessments are provided at no cost and come with no obligation. This means your facility can benefit from expert analysis and actionable recommendations without any initial financial commitment, making it a risk-free opportunity to improve your energy efficiency and operational performance.
Enhance Sustainability and Corporate Responsibility
Improving energy efficiency and reducing waste not only cuts costs but also contributes to your sustainability goals. Implementing the RI-IAC's recommendations can help your facility reduce its environmental footprint, demonstrating your commitment to corporate social responsibility and enhancing your reputation with customers and stakeholders.
