Overview BETTER BUILDINGS, BETTER PLANTS Better Plants Program The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Better Buildings, Better Plants Program is a voluntary partnership initiative to drive significant energy efficiency improvement across energy intensive industrial companies and organizations. 234 leading manufacturers and public water and wastewater treatment utilities are partnering with DOE through Better Plants to improve competitiveness, drive energy efficiency, and save money.

Partner Benefits Manufacturers and public water utilities in the Better Better Plants Snapshot Plants Program set energy saving goals, usually 25% Accomplishments Total over 10 years. They receive: Number of Partner Companies 234

 National Recognition to highlight their Approximate Number of Plants 3,200 leadership including a feature on the Percent of U.S. Manufacturing Energy Footprint 12% Department’s website and invitations to special Reported Savings through 2018 events. Partner success stories are also Cumulative Energy Savings (QBtu) 1.3 highlighted in DOE newsletters and other Cumulative Cost Savings (Billions) $6.7 publications. Average Annual Energy Intensity Improvement 2.6% Rate  Technical Support through a dedicated Technical Account Manager (TAM) who helps partners establish energy baselines, develop energy management plans, identify energy-saving and energy- recovery opportunities, and track energy performance metrics. TAMs also guide partners in the use of DOE’s energy performance tools and connect them to additional resources at the federal, state, or local level.

 In-Plant Trainings are unique 2- to 4-day events, led by experts in energy intensive processes who train plant staff to establish energy management systems, conduct plant assessments, analyze pump and aeration processes, use DOE tools, and implement cost-effective projects. Better Plants Partners can apply to host or participate in these special training events.

 Energy Saving Resources are available to Better Plants Partners on a facilitated basis. These resources include free energy audits for qualifying facilities, free combined heat and power (CHP) screenings, energy analysis software tools, and peer-to-peer networking opportunities.

 Additional Opportunities are open to partners to deepen and expand their commitment to energy efficiency. Partners can take advantage of Technology Days at National Laboratories to learn about and leverage advanced R&D or access a variety of energy measurement tools through the Diagnostic Equipment Program. Forty-six organizations (underlined on page 2) have also stepped up to the Better Plants Challenge, and are demonstrating enhanced transparency around their energy performance data and best practices. Additionally, DOE is working with a select group of partners on separate initiatives targeting supply chain energy efficiency, water savings, and waste reduction.

How to Join the Program Joining the Better Plants Program is easy. Contact the Better Plants team via e-mail at [email protected] to receive the voluntary commitment form. Return the form, signed by your CEO or senior executive. From there, DOE will organize a call with your company to kick off the partnership.
