United States Department of Energy (US DOE)
The United States Department of Energy (DOE) is a department of the United States government concerned with the United States' policies regarding energy and safety.
Dependant from the DOE is the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) which leads the Federal government's research, development, and deployment efforts in energy efficiency. Program activities are conducted in partnership with the private sector, state and local government, DOE national laboratories, and universities. EERE also works with stakeholders to develop programs and policies to facilitate the deployment of advanced clean energy technologies and practices (DOE, 2011).
The Industrial Technologies Program (ITP) is the leading government program working to increase the energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions of U.S.
Through Best Practices, ITP helps improve the energy intensity of the U.S. industrial sector, by implementing proven technologies and energy management practices. The program offers resources such as software tools, training and technical information and resources for corporate executives, plant managers, technical staff and the general public (DOE, 20011).

Type: Case Studies
Five industrial facilities in Texas field tested the Superior Energy Performance program from 2008-2010 and became the first facilities certified through the program. These facilities achieved improvements in energy performance, ranging from 6.5% to 17% over a period of two to three years. This case study focuses on one of the first participants: the Cook Composites and Polymers Co. (CCP) plant in Houston, Texas.
