Prior to 2010, most of the work dealing with energy efficiency was done at the site level.
As the Executive Team members became increasingly involved, they challenged the
Energy Team to develop quantitative information to identify the major factors affecting
the energy intensity measure, assess the magnitude of each, and evaluate progress toward
the goal. Intensive data analysis resulted in a tool that was used to set priorities for
funding and to quantify the gap between current plans and the energy intensity goal. One
of the significant learnings from this work was that repairing steam leaks played a much
bigger role than expected. The value of this analysis was proven and the magnitude of
each factor influencing energy intensity is now updated on an annual basis for the
Steering Team’s review to further guide the program
