## San Francisco State University

- 320,000+ students system wide
- About 30,000 students at SFSU

- College of Science and Engineering

**School of Engineering is one of the 7 academic units within COSE**
**Offer Civil, Electrical, Computer, and Mechanical Engineering ****	****undergraduate and Master of Science in Engineering degrees**
**Approximately 700 students with 100 graduate students **

## IAC Program Background

**Energy Analysis and Diagnostic Center Program (EADC) established in late 70’s**
**EADC expanded to include waste and productivity services in 90’s, renamed IAC**
**Currently, centers are located at 26 engineering colleges across the U.S.**

## IAC Program Background

**Over 9,000 assessments completed **
**Cumulative cost savings of over $700 million (US dollars)**
**More than 2,000 engineering students trained**
**Conserved more than 270 trillion Btu, representing 44 million barrels of oil**
**Reduced greenhouse gases by more than 5 million metric tons of carbon equivalent**

## IAC Program Background

**Clients **
**Private sector manufacturing plants, within 150 mile radius of IAC**
**Typically, SIC 20-39**
**Small- and medium-sized plants with single-day visits**
**Larger Industries of the Future plants with multi-day visits**

## IAC Program Background

**Additional Client Selection Criteria**
**Industrial firms within the Industries of the Future sectors and their suppliers and customers.**
**Utility costs between $100,000/yr and $2.0 million/yr**
**Gross sales less than $100 million/yr**
**Less than 500 employees**
**Lack of in-house professional expertise to perform the assessment**

**Notes:**
Country has been divided into two regions, with Miss River as the approx. dividing line.

Directory of ITEM staff is included in binder.

## IAC Program Structure

**Assessments are funded by DOE’s Office of Industrial Technologies (OIT), the home for the IAC Program.**

- 26 IACs

- Michael Muller

- Rutgers University

- Field Manager

- Sandy Glatt

- IAC Program Manager

- DOE Office of Industrial Technologies

**Notes:**
The program is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Industrial Technologies.
OIT’s strategy is to help industry identify and pursue technology needs through public/private sector partnerships.
