Both programs work with large industrial customers to apply the principals ofcontinuous improvement to energy management with the intent of yielding (and sustaining)operations and maintenance as well as capital project energy savings.This paper compares and contrasts the features of these two programs, the range ofparticipation by industry type, programmatic successes and challenges, customer feedback, andlessons learned.
