This study examines the impacts of BC Hydro’s Industrial Power Smart program on end use energy efficiency. The study examines five main end use areas: lighting systems; fan and blower systems; pump systems; compressor systems; and industrial processes. The study approach involved a quasi-experiment with a treatment group of 59 program participants and a comparison group of 65 program non-participants. Data were collected through on-site engineering audits, end-use metering, and surveys, with sample sizes designed to provide precision at the ± 10% level, 19 times out of 20. Proven engineering techniques including engineering algorithms and computer simulations were used to determine gross energy and demand savings.
