Abstract

The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Industrial Tech-
nology (OIT) BestPractices effort is developing a number of software
tools to assist industrial energy users to improve the efficiency of their
operations. One of the software tools developed is the “steam system
scoping tool.” In the summer of 2001, six of the DOE Industrial Assess-
ment Centers (IACs) completed a project to provide data on the useful-
ness of the steam system scoping tool. These six IACs performed eigh-
teen plant steam system assessments; as part of these assessments the
steam system scoping tool was used and evaluated. This article presents
the results from these steam system assessments, and the results of the
evaluations of the steam system scoping tool.
