Appendix B: Sector-Focused Energy Reduction Resources 
This appendix describes energy conservation and efficiency resources that are tailored to particular industrial sectors.
ENERGY STAR Industries in Focus
www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=in_focus.bus_industries_focus
ENERGY STAR’s
Industries in Focus creates a momentum for energy performance improvements
within individual manufacturing sectors. Focuses provide industry-specific
energy management tools and resources, develop the corporate structure
and systems to better manage energy, and reduce energy use within an
industry. Participation is voluntary; however, most companies welcome the opportunity
to network with peers. Generally, focuses enjoy the participation of
most of the major companies within an industry. Participating sectors include:
- Cement manufacturing
- Corn refining
- Food processing
- Glass manufacturing
- Motor vehicle manufacturing
- Petrochemical processing
- Petroleum refining
- Pharmaceutical manufacturing
- Pulp and paper

ITP leads national efforts to improve industrial energy efficiency and environmental
performance. ITP’s mission is to improve the energy intensity of
the U.S. industrial sector through a coordinated program of research and development,
validation, and dissemination of energy efficiency technologies and operating
practices. ITP partners with industry and its many stakeholders to reduce our
nation's reliance on foreign energy sources, reduce environmental impacts,
increase the use of renewable energy sources, improve competitiveness, and
improve the quality of life for American workers, families, and communities. Sectors
in the ITP program include:
- Aluminum
- Chemicals
- Forest products
- Glass
- Metal casting
- Mining
