In June, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Washington, D.C., sent Congress a report that highlights various issues that keep industry from achieving better energy efficiency. “Barriers to Industrial Energy Efficiency” also pinpoints opportunities to address many of these factors.

The report examines three areas that could improve industrial energy efficiency:
end-use efficiency;
demand response (i.e., changes in consumption patterns due to pricing or economic incentives); and
