Our team is composed of interdisciplinary faculty and graduate students from the University of Washington

Why IAC?

From both an environmental and economic perspective, one of the most critical issues we currently face is the industrial sector's inefficient use of energy. Conserving energy is vitally important, as it can help us generate less waste, keep the environment healthy and save a significant amount of money. At IAC, we believe that managing industrial energy is a responsibility shared by the entire industrial community. To achieve a greater level of energy efficiency, it is vital that local manufacturers and small businesses engage in energy-friendly practices. Continuing in the tradition of the Energy Analysis and Diagnostic Centers, our team of faculty and students provide a valuable service to the local economy and environment.
