The Center strives to save energy, improve productivity, and reduce waste by providing no-cost technical assessments for small manufacturing and commercial buildings across the state of Texas while targeting disadvantaged communities. The scope of topics we cover includes but is not limited to: Energy and Water Savings, Smart Manufacturing, Energy Efficiency.
Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy
Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy’s mission is to accelerate the research, development, demonstration, and deployment of technologies and solutions to equitably transition America to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions economy-wide by no later than 2050, and ensure the clean energy economy benefits all Americans, creating good paying jobs for the American people – especially workers and communities impacted by the energy transition and those historically underserved by the energy system and overburdened by pollution.
Advanced Manufacturing Office
Advanced Manufacturing Office supports R&D projects, R&D consortia, and early-stage technical partnerships with national laboratories, companies (for-profit and not-for-profit), state and local governments, and universities through competitive, merit-reviewed funding opportunities designed to investigate new manufacturing technologies.
USDOE Industrial Training and Assessment Centers (ITACs)
The USDOE Industrial Training and Assessment Centers (ITACs) can help small and medium sized US manufacturers save energy, improve productivity, and reduce waste by providing no-cost technical assessments conducted by university-based teams of engineering students and faculty. After the site visit, the ITAC team provides a comprehensive report with specific details on all opportunities for improving competitiveness identified during the assessment, including applicable rebates and incentives.
