"Dr. Hitesh Vora and his IAC team of students were great to work with and they were all very professional and thorough. As a result of their assessment, expertise, and report, the Choctaw Nation was able to put together a very competitive application for a federal grant to improve energy efficiency at our Poteau Campus. Their service enabled us to have projects ready to go with all the preliminary cost analyses completed. I believe this assessment and report was one of the reasons that we were awarded the grant. This grant and the IAC services align with the Choctaw Nation’s sustainability goals and efforts to be good stewards of our resources and become more energy efficient."

"Dr. Hitesh Vora and Dr. McCombs lead a team of several engineering students with the Industrial Assessment Center program. This program was a rewarding experience for both sides of the assessment. This program helps students receive hands-on real-world experiences by helping to find practical energy-saving solutions for small businesses. The team analyzes ways for facilities to save energy. The survey report has helped our company use less energy by implementing the changes recommended and helped secure grant funding for future energy savings. The reports and data provided in the audit are easy to understand and even include ROI based on the actual energy cost. It is vital that we work together to create a more energy-conscious future for generations to come."

"I would like to express my appreciation to Dr Hitesh Vora, Dr Michael McCombs and the entire team at OSU IAC. They have been extremely helpful to us as we pursue improving the energy efficiency at our factory. From our first communication with them they have been very responsive and eager to work together with us. When they came on-site for the energy audit, it was obvious that they were well prepared and are very knowledgeable about the role of energy consumption in manufacturing. The communication has been excellent at every stage of the process and they have gone above and beyond in terms of helping us to meet deadlines for grant applications. In addition to the high level of professionalism and expertise in their field, they have simply been a pleasant and friendly group of people to work with. I highly recommend them to any Oklahoma company that is looking to move forward in energy efficiency."

"My name is Lewis Chambers and I am the EHS Manager at Georg Fischer Central Plastics. Our corporate office does implement Sustainability Goals and Objectives to reduce energy, our carbon footprint, and landfill waste. I have used the OSU Industrial Assessment Center for multiple locations to help identify and calculate energy savings for our facilities. The Teams are always professional and do a great job at identifying ways we can reduce energy and waste. One thing I like most is when they identify a way to reduce the energy they are also able to provide energy savings R.O.I's to help when requesting capital for the projects. We have been able to implement several projects that have reduced our energy consumption by over two million K.W.H annually. I really appreciate this service that they offer and plan on using them in the future as our business grows."

"The OSU IAC program is a valuable resource for small manufacturers such as ourselves with limited resources. The team was able to identify areas that we often take for granted due to our being immersed in the facility on a daily basis. Through the use of a moderate-sized team of OSU graduate students, led by an industry energy expert Dr. McCombs, the team was able to evaluate our entire operations with a fresh set of eyes. After the data was collected and analyzed by the team, and easy to read and understand report was generated with energy-saving recommendations, providing tangible data that can be used to achieve real savings and reductions on energy usage to our facility's bottom line. I look forward to the opportunity to utilize this resource again in the future to provide further insight into additional energy-saving opportunities for our operations."

"I want to personally thank you and your team members who came down from OSU to audit our facility.
The information you gathered over the three day period will save our company thousands of dollars every year.
We are currently in the process of getting quotes to transition over to LED in our facility.
Without the audit we would have not known how much energy we were losing each year, and most likely would have never started the possess of changing them.
I would recommend the audit to any company that wants to save money and cut energy cost.
Thanks again OSU you Rock..
