Data Confidentiality and Disclosure

We know that your data is important, and you want us to exercise care in its use, so we want to explain how we may use it.

The data are used to prepare your individual assessment report. Your company’s name and address do not appear in the report. Upon completion, the report will be sent to you. The report will not be sent to the Environmental Protection Agency, Occupational Safety & Health Administration or any regulatory body. In addition, it will not be released to vendors, utilities or anyone else outside of the Industrial Assessment Center program. However, to ensure continued high quality, all of our reports are reviewed by program managers.  In addition, we report our client list to our program sponsor the United States Department of Energy.

Some data from the report are entered into a national database available for public access on the Internet at the Industrial Assessment Center U.S. Department of Energy. Please click here to go to the Industrial Assessment Center's national database, which is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy, Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy, Advanced Manufacturing office. This database is a valuable tool for manufacturers and researchers who want to know the savings of various types of projects. The data entered into the national database that are available for public access include the following: 

• Assessment center performing the assessment (University of Dayton)
• State where plant is located
• Assessment date
• Plant SIC, principal product, floor area and employees
• Annual sales, volume, production hours and energy cost
• Name, type, estimated annual resource savings, annual cost savings, implementation cost, simple payback and implementation status of each savings recommendation

Our work in your plant may be a good subject for a future case study; however, such a case study will be subject to your review and approval.
