Get Involved with Texas Industries of the Future by:

  • Joining the email list. You’ll receive monthly announcements about energy-related training, conferences and funding opportunities of interest to Texas manufacturing facilities. This list is NEVER sold. Click on “Mailing List” at the top of the webpage.
  • Taking advantage of DOE Best Practices training on pumps, motors, steam, compressed air and process heating, offered in major Texas cities. You’ll receive notices about these trainings periodically if you are on the email list.
  • Downloading the “Texas-Size Energy Savings” manual and calculator, available from the Home page. This step-by-step assessment manual assists small and medium-sized manufacturers to identify and screen potential energy efficiency projects. The manual comes with a calculator which allows you to estimate energy, cost and emissions reductions from potential projects at your Texas plant, based on data you input. The 16 projects included in the manual and calculator cover compressed air, combustion and steam, motors, lighting, and chiller projects.
  • Attending the Texas Industrial Energy Management Forums, held in Houston and Beaumont. Learn what the leaders are doing!
  • Presenting a success story from your company at the Energy Management Forums or Texas Technology Showcase 2006.
  • Benchmarking your energy management system and identifying critical next steps for improvement! This project open to plants/companies in the Texas petrochemical and refining sectors. Contact Kathey Ferland at kferland@mail.utexas.edu for further information.
