The Industrial Assessment Center (IAC) is newly established with the collaboration of the Department of Energy (DOE). The IAC provides energy assessment services to small and medium-sized manufacturing companies within South Carolina. The Clemson IAC provides no-cost energy assessments to identify opportunities to improve productivity, reduce waste, and save energy. In providing this service to the region, the Clemson IAC also trains the next generation of energy-savvy engineers by creating a DOE certified energy assessment training program at Clemson University.
