Challenges Working with the Industrial Sector
The industrial sector presents a unique challenge to the energy efficiency and renewable energy program. While industrial facilities also have the same end uses as commercial buildings (lighting, HVAC, basic plug loads, etc.) energy use is often dominated by industrial process. Motivating these customers requires programmatic approaches and expertise that are respectful of an industrial plant’s unique patterns of use and the focus on its fundamental manufacturing needs.
