"In relation to our audit, we also recommended to the company for a MoIAC student internship to follow up with the implementation of the recommendations. As a result, Austin Laramie, a MoIAC student and at the time also enrolled in Bin Wu’s “Industrial Energy Efficiency and Management (MU IMSE 4580)” class, was employed during the summer by the company: According to the company: “ (the MoIAC student) helped to go through the details of every recommendation on the list. This worked great!” From the student (Sep 25, 2017): "Dr. Wu, The IAC program I was involved in was fantastic experience in a very important area of Industrial Engineering. Learning how to directly identify improvement areas in energy efficiency in a factory was great knowledge that can be used generally wherever my degree takes me in industry. Any time I walk into a new manufacturing facility I can immediately recognize energy that is being wasted or can be more efficiently utilized in the plant. Helping organize reports on the recommendations were also great practical application to showing upper-level management how the energy-savings investment is worth while based on a simple payback period from predicted utility bill savings. Your classes helped me grasp a deeper connection with how all of the units in energy efficiency come together to make calculations a breeze. Before taking your class I was clueless on the difference between a kilowatt and a lumen but now I could present these to a class of my own from all the practical experience and practice. Lastly, I can't thank you enough for helping me connect with Hunter Engineering Company which gave me a paid summer internship experience focusing directly on the subjects we talked about in class and did in IAC. From the start of the summer, I had no problems talking to my boss about lighting, air-conditioning, pneumatic, or other systems that was costing the company thousands of dollars in utility bills per year. I had the chance to represent multiple options for energy-saving improvements to their facility and exactly how much they were projected to save from each opportunity. Overall, the IAC program, your classes, and my internship with Hunter Engineering have all dramatically helped my professional industrial engineering skills to make me a better asset for companies in the future. I cannot thank you enough for your patience and believing in all my potential. Hope to see you soon, Austin Laramie Industrial & Manufacturing Systems Engineering University of Missouri - Columbia""

"Thank you Sanjeev! I have been going through the report. It is very comprehensive! The audit team from University of Missouri Columbia did a fantastic job of learning our operation and identifying some key projects for our facility to become more sustainable. The knowledge they bring is invaluable. Although some of the projects identified have not been completed to date, they are still being investigated for costs versus budget available to implement. I really enjoyed working with them and would recommend their services to anyone interested in sustainability and reducing your carbon footprint."

"Silgan is very grateful for the opportunity to conduct multiple DOE assessments at our facilities. These audits not only allow us to gain valuable insight from those that have not seen our facility, but we are provided tools to apply to other areas beyond energy savings of our facilities which are invaluable. We also find great value in being provided quotes/calculations/savings and rough cost estimates as it allows us to expedite implementing these projects when the data is provided in such a useful format. We have not only reaped great savings from implementing projects the DOE has recommended, but we’ve been able to share the recommendations and tools with other facilities and have seen even greater widespread success. We are highly supportive of this program and are thankful to be a part of it."

"Thank you and your professional students for the collaborative time auditing and understanding our facility which provided excellent assessment recommendations in which to reduce operating cost and the subsequent CO2 emissions. I would be interested in a follow up that shows expected annual savings from what we have done or expect to complete by year end."

""Thank you very much for this report. ... I am quite impressed with the comprehensiveness of your study and recommended actions. I will be sure we get our team involved with evaluating this report and taking actions to improve our energy usage performance. ... Thanks again" (March 9, 2016). "The work you carried out was so relevant and useful, that it has inspired me to initiate a internship program here at our company." (April 6, 2017)."

I thoroughly enjoyed having your students and the length of detail to supply Legrand Cablofil with sustainability projects that identifies the cost savings and energy reduction efforts maximum impact. Legrand Cablofil is committed to setting objectives intended to improve our environmental performance by taking action to protect the environment, meeting compliance obligation and continually improving. Thank you for your support in those efforts and reaching our sustainability and energy reduction goals."
