Company Profile:
An energy-consuming sector that consists of all facilities and equipment used for producing, processing, or assembling goods. The industrial sector encompasses the following types of activity manufacturing (NAICS codes 31-33); agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting (NAICS code 11); mining, including oil and gas extraction (NAICS code 21); and construction (NAICS code 23). Overall energy use in this sector is largely for process heat and cooling and powering machinery, with lesser amounts used for facility heating, air conditioning, and lighting. Fossil fuels are also used as raw material inputs to manufactured products. Note: This sector includes generators that produce electricity and/or useful thermal output primarily to support the above-mentioned industrial activities.

This method adjusts either the amount of energy consumed or expenditures spent, for the effects of various building characteristics,such as size of the building, number of workers, or number of operating hours, to facilitate comparisons of energy across time, fuels, and buildings.
Industry:Energy
The ratio of the average load to peak load during a specified time interval.
Industry:Energy
