Our team is composed mainly of engineering faculty and graduate-level students in the University of Washington's Department of Electrical Engineering.
Why IAC?
From an environmental and economic perspective, one of the key issues we face is industrial energy usage. By saving energy, we generate less waste. We help keep the environment healthy and we save money. At the Industrial Assessment Center, we believe that managing industrial energy is a responsibility shared by the entire industrial community. In order to achieve a greater level of energy efficiency, it is vital that local manufacturers and small businesses engage in energy-friendly practices. We're here to help. Continuing in the tradition of the Energy Analysis and Diagnostic Centers, our team of faculty and students provides small and medium-sized manufacturers with free energy assessments. In the process, we're providing the next generation of energy savvy innovators with valuable real-world experience.
History of the Industrial Assessment Center Program
The modern Industrial Assessment Center (IAC) program started in 1976 with the launch of the Energy Analysis and Diagnostic Centers (EADC). Created by the Office of Industrial Technology (a branch of the US Department of Energy), the goal of the EADC program was to help small and medium-sized manufacturing facilities cut unnecessary costs arising from inefficient energy use, ineffective production procedures, excess waste production, and other production-related problems.
We provide:
-
Free energy, productivity, and waste assessments
For small and medium sized industrial facilities through funding provided by the US Department of Energy.
-
Quality traning to UW students and falculties
We have trained more than 37 students since the establishment of UW IAC
