        Program

   Vivian Harper, Director
          SC- IOF
• National IOF Program
  – Focuses on 9 energy intensive industries
     • Chemical, Petroleum, Metalcasting, Mining, Forest
       Products, Glass, Steel, Aluminum, Agriculture

  – Supports R&D projects for these industries

  – Uses results from R&D and case studies from field
    audits to develop Best Practices program
• State IOF Programs
  – Provide services to the primary industrial sectors that
    are unique to the state
  – Maintain close alliance with the national program for
    specific industrial sectors
  – Managed by
     •    Industrial Assessment Centers
     •   Cooperative efforts at universities
     •   “For profit” entities
     •   “Not for profit” entities
• South Carolina’s IOF Program
  – Developed & championed by SCMEP
  – Funding has come from the DOE through the SC
    Energy Office
  – SCMEP has provided additional matching funds
  – SCMEP has received five grants since 1999
     •   Motor Master Grant   (Complete)
     •   Energy Grant         (Complete)
     •   Metalcast Grant      (Complete)

  – Grant Deliverables
     • Perform motor efficiency tests in two or more
       South Carolina small to medium sized
       manufacturing enterprises
     • Identify all motors in the facilities and the amount
       of energy that is currently being consumed by the
       motors
     • Use DOE’s Motor Master software to make
       recommendations concerning the replacement of
       these motors with energy efficient motors
