About the BestPractices Steam Program

As part of the U.S. Department of Energy's Industrial Technologies Program, BestPractices programs help U.S. manufacturers maintain global competitiveness through strategic energy management and the use of energy-efficient technologies. BestPractices works with industry to identify plant-wide opportunities for energy savings and process efficiency, helping industrial manufacturers cut costs and emissions while helping our nation achieve its economic and environmental goals. BestPractices programs exist for several industrial systems, including steam, process heating, compressed air, and motors.
