"Thank you so very much - this is an eye opener in many areas and I'm sure we will be able to use many of the recommendations going forward. We appreciate your willingness to do this for our company." Also, the following was sent by a IAC student (on 10/6/2015) team member who was involved in this and the other audits: "I just submitted my application for the IAC certificate request form, and I can not thank you enough for all that you have done for our IAC family the past few years. .. (the) energy efficiency class and being a part of the IAC team have truly been the most rewarding experiences of my college career. As I prepare to graduate in December, I look forward to taking everything ... about energy efficiency and apply it to the real world and be able to make a real impact wherever I end up. Being part of your team has been an amazing experience and more valuable than I can put into words. Thank you again for getting me involved with such a great opportunity. Nick Cain"

"Sanjeev, I want to thank you and your team for visiting our sites and identifying energy usage reduction opportunities that Reynolds would not likely have otherwise identified due to our focus on manufacturing finished goods. Based upon the results of your audits and the data furnished in the audit reports, Reynolds now has the details needed to financially justify implementing projects that will reduce our energy costs and facilitate achievement of our sustainability goals."

"I wanted to take the opportunity to provide you direct comment regarding the University of Missouri – Midwest Industrial Assessment Center (MIAC) and the professionalism, exemplary assessment work and collaborative teamwork results conducted by Sanjeev Khanna, PhD and his staff at the Gateway Aluminum plant. I and the Packaging Matters and Gateway Aluminum management staff were very impressed with the knowledge, identified energy efficiency opportunities and recommended path forward provided by Dr. Khanna and staff. It was clearly evident why the MIAC is recognized as a top entity in the US Department of Energy – Industrial Assessment Center structure. We look forward to working with the MIAC on the next steps in implementing the assessment recommendations."

"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."

"Hi Dr. Wu, Thank you for putting this together. We appreciate the time you and your team spent on this. We will review and get back to you with any questions and I will see if I can involve any other sites. Thanks again," Also feedback from one of the MoIAC student team member (Jeff Hoiday): "... I first want to thank you for introducing me into the world of energy efficiency and sustainable energy. The opportunity that you (IAC) provided was one that would change my outlook on the ever bearing question of what I want to do when I graduate. You opened the door for me to finally answer that question."

"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."

"This audit has resulted approximately $400,000 annual saving through implementation of recommendations - very close to the estimation in as our report (company recorded 10% of savings out of $4.5M utility costs/year): "Good Afternoon Dr. Wu, ... I will update you on your findings during your team’s energy audit at Piramal. It should also be noted that our plant has formed an “Energy Pillar Team” in an effort to achieve a level 3 status in our “Operational Excellence” program.... ... AR2. Our XXX furnace was repaired not long after your audit. This furnace is operating more efficiently. Our XXX Furnace is being scheduled for a repair in xxxx. AR3. I have initiated a quoted project using Ameren’s rebate program. I currently have a proposal to install VFDs on all of our fans before our Corporate office awaiting approval. AR4. At present our XXX is down for a rebuild and upgrade. I also have an approved project through Ameren’s rebate program to improve control of our compressors. This project includes leak detection and repair of our compressed air system. This project to be completed before November of this year. AR5. This is a viable suggestion which has yet to be implemented. AR6. This suggestion is part of the compressed air project mentioned above and will be implemented as funds become available. AR7. As belts are changed in the course of PM’s, we are re-installing cogged V-belts. Estimate 50% of belts are now cogged. AR8. Resetting of thermostats for the most part has been accomplished. Problem with keeping unauthorized personnel from changing settings will have to be addressed. AR9. Photo-eyes have been installed and are working well. · Preliminary data shows electrical saving of about 10% over previous year with just the implemented items. · Our Energy Pillar Team is working to establish data collection with more detail. · I will stay in touch as more data becomes available.

"I would like to take a moment and express my gratitude to you and your students for completing the energy audit at our manufacturing facility. Your team was polite, professional, knowledgeable, curious, safety-conscious, and resourceful in determining areas of improvement. I appreciate the feedback we received on your very detailed report. We will use it as a guide as we move forward in our efforts to reduce energy waste. I would highly recommend your group to other facilities looking to improve their processes. Your team identified issues we've had for years but have never taken a step back and realized on our own. Thank you again for the audit, detailed report, and recommendations for our facility. Job well done!"
