The main purpose of the Industrial Assessment Center (IAC) is to reduce the environmental impacts, the operating costs and apply energy conservation as well as energy efficient solution to have better renewable energy-oriented aspects and more reliable sources of energy to help any energy crises coming across. Any energy program faces challenges, but the main one is always on how to increase the efficiency in all sections while keeping the price down with minimum cost and less environmental impact. In that case, it can be noted that the efficiency takes care of the environment, health and economic. And as has been stated by the International Energy Agency (IEA) [1][2] energy efficiency in the industrial sector can track the energy consumption, which leads to determining whether the applied program is beneficial or not. United States Department of Energy, Office of Industrial Technologies (USDOE-OIT) has supported the foundation of 28 Industrial Assessment Centers (IAC) nationwide. University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) Industrial Assessment Center (IAC) program is the only Assessment Center in Wisconsin managed by Rutgers the State University of New Jersey, under an agreement with the U.S. Department of Energy. The program is financially supported through the Advanced Manufacturing Office (AMO), which is a part of the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE). Recommendations are given to Industrial plans by the IAC after they evaluate and identify opportunities to conserve energies through analysis of industrial plan’s operations-to be able to minimize waste and reduce the overall cost operations. In this report, all the assessments made by University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) Industrial Assessment Center (IAC) program in 4 years from 2015 to 2018 will be classified by their standard Industrial Code (SIC) The type of manufacturing varies from the food industry, printing industry, and metal industry. (68) assessments were made in between 2015 and 2018 and their SIC ranged from 14 to 87 with (547) Assessments Recommendations (AR) were suggested.
