Description of Data Confidentiality and Disclosure
We
know that your data is important and you want us to exercise care in its use,
so we want to explain how we may use it.
The
data are used to prepare your individual assessment report. Your company’s name
and address do not appear in the report.
Upon completion, the report will be sent to you. The report will not be sent to the
Department of Energy, Environmental Protection Agency, Occupational Safety
& Health Administration or any regulatory body. In addition, it will not be released to vendors, utilities or
anyone else outside of the Industrial Assessment Center program. However, to insure continued high quality,
all of our reports are reviewed by an organization that manages this program
for the United States Department of Energy.
Some
data from the report are entered into a national database available for public
access on the Internet at http://iac.rutgers.edu/database/. This database is a valuable tool for
manufacturers and researchers who want to know the savings of various types of
projects. The data entered into the
national database that are available for public access are:
Assessment
center performing the assessment (University of Dayton)
State
where plant is located
Assessment
date
Plant
SIC, principal product, floor area and employees
Annual
sales, volume, production hours and energy cost
Name,
type, estimated annual resource savings, annual cost savings, implementation
cost, simple payback and implementation status of each savings recommendation.
Our work in your plant may be a good subject for a future case study; however, such a case study will be subject to your review and approval. We may be asked to supply a list of plant names and addresses for plants we have served to the Department of Energy in order to make public a list of program participants. The list will not associate plant names with report numbers or other plant production, operation, or cost data. In addition, we may call you after a few months to ask about project implementation, and other follow-up may include a survey.
Some
individual savings recommendations make excellent teaching tools and are used
as examples on our website at www.engr.udayton.edu/udiac. However, there is no linkage between
individual savings recommendations used as teaching examples and your company
or assessment.
