Award Category: Leadership in Energy Performance

The Leadership in Energy Performance Award recognizes leadership by a Washington industry that has achieved the greatest reduction in energy intensity site-wide over the past two years. This award focuses on an organization’s continuous improvement in energy performance over time at a whole-plant level. Energy intensity metrics should be normalized for production or other key energy drivers (e.g., X million Btu per thousand widgets).

Nomination packet should include:

√ A printed copy of this page.
√ Answers to the following questions (up to three pages total):

1. How does your plant or facility use energy? List major energy-using systems and key drivers for energy use (such as production, weather, etc.)
2. Describe the system or model(s) you use to monitor and track the results of energy performance improvements. Define how your energy intensity metric is calculated. Who does this at your company and how often?
3. Provide information about the baseline period that your improvements are being measured against.
4. What is your % of energy intensity reduction since the baseline period?
5. Provide a brief explanation of how these energy savings were achieved. What systems were impacted?
6. What are the annual kWh, Btu, therm or cost savings associated with your energy performance improvements?

√ Optional – Up to 10 additional pages of supporting documentation to validate your energy performance improvement statistics.
