As a leader in remote assessments, Texas A&M will accelerate the ITAC network’s growing emphasis on industrial efficiency, fiscal and energy resource management, and promotion of competitive manufacturing practices.
Conduct no-cost energy assessments for large energy-intensive facilities
We offer no-cost energy assessments for large energy-intensive facilities, using a comprehensive, data-driven approach to analyze energy use and identify improvement opportunities. Our expert team provides practical recommendations to enhance efficiency, reduce operational costs, and support better performance—all at no cost to your organization.
Conduct no-cost energy assessments for medium-sized manufacturing and commercial facilities through our network of ITAC and BTAC centers
The Center of Excellence, through its ITAC and BTAC network, provides no-cost energy, waste, and productivity assessments to small and mid-sized manufacturers and wastewater treatment plants. These one-day site visits deliver detailed reports with analysis, findings, and recommendations to improve efficiency and productivity while reducing waste.
Guide ITAC clients in applying for ITAC implementation grants from the US Dept. of Energy
The Gulf Coast Center of Excellence supports ITAC clients in applying for implementation grants from the U.S. Department of Energy. Through our website, newsletters, and social media, we keep clients informed about upcoming funding opportunities. We also help them navigate grant requirements and documentation to successfully implement operational efficiency, cost reduction, and productivity initiatives.
Provide webinar or seminars to manufacturing associations regarding no-cost technical assisstance programs and grant/rebate programs
The Gulf Coast Center of Excellence supports manufacturers through webinars and seminars on no-cost assistance, funding opportunities, and technical resources. The ITAC website outlines the assessment process and includes a sample report to illustrate benefits. The Center also develops training materials to help manufacturers improve operations and build internal expertise.
Provide in-plant training sessions on operational efficiency best practices
The Center enhances energy efficiency through in-plant training that addresses workforce needs and overcomes barriers to adopting industrial-efficient practices. By assessing regional ITACs, we tailor support to their specific challenges. Training covers key topics like utility bill analysis and peak demand management, empowering organizations to optimize energy use and boost efficiency.
