The Industrial Assessment Center (IAC) Database contains the actual results of approximately 7,000 assessments conducted by the IACs. The database includes details such as fuel type, base plant energy consumption, and recommended energy-efficiency improvements, in addition to projected energy savings, cost savings, implementation cost, and simple payback.

The Thermodynamics Resource Database helps industries engaged in high-temperature processing address critical technology challenges. This database was created to aid industry in modeling and exploring processing solutions involving high-temperature materials and corrosion. This free resource on thermochemistry for gas-phase and condensed species currently includes pages specifically for the glass manufacturing and petrochemical industries; similar pages focused on the chemical, forest products, steel, and aluminum industries will be added soon.
