The Industrial Superior Energy Performance (SEP) Accelerator was designed to demonstrate cost savings from implementing SEP enterprise-wide and ratepayer-funded energy efficiency programs for industrial facilities. Through the SEP ratepayer-funded Accelerator, partners including utilities and energy efficiency program administrators agreed to work towards deployment of SEP to manufacturers across their service territories. Enterprise-wide offers partners were manufacturers implementing ISO 50001 and SEP across a corporation, business unit, or multiple plants.
Better Buildings hosts interactive webinars featuring a variety of topics exploring cost-effective ways for organizations to integrate energy savings into their daily building operations. All Better Buildings webinars are free to attend.
Watch General Motors and L'Oréal USA as they swap energy teams to improve the energy efficiency at their plants in Michigan and Arkansas.
Each month, Better Buildings curates a list of top solutions shared by partners. Check out the most recent list of solutions the first week of every month!

Case Study
The 3M Company, a multinational Fortune 100 manufacturer, achieved significant energy and cost savings by simultaneously certifying multiple sites to Superior Energy Performance (SEP) under the Better Buildings initiative.
Cummins, Inc., a Fortune 500 American manufacturer, took advantage of a streamlined, enterprise-wide approach to implement an ISO 50001 energy management system (EnMS) and Superior Energy Performance (SEP) at three of its U.S. locations, achieving more than $4 million in energy cost savings.
Nissan Motor Co., a Fortune 100 multinational automobile manufacturer, certified all three of its U.S. plants to Superior Energy Performance (SEP) under the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Better Buildings initiative, saving close to 1,600 billion Btu of primary energy and $9.4 million in energy costs annually.
Schneider Electric, a Fortune 500 company, can now point to 20 sites that have successfully achieved certification to Superior Energy Performance (SEP), which includes a certified ISO 50001 energy management system (EnMS).
Fact Sheet
Partners have an opportunity to implement International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 50001 and SEP enterprise-wide, such as across a corporation, business unit, or multiple plants to achieve greater energy cost savings.
Ratepayer-funded Program Partners are utilities and energy efficiency program administrators who agree to work toward deployment of SEP to manufacturers across their service territories.
