The Industrial Demand Module is based upon economic and engineering relationships that model industrial sector energy consumption at the nine Census Division level of detail. The seven most energy-intensive industries are modeled at the detailed process step level and eight other industries are modeled at a less detailed level. The Industrial Demand Module incorporates three components: buildings; process and assembly; and boiler, steam, and cogeneration.

Coverage:

• Geographic: Nine Census divisions: New England, Mid-Atlantic, East North Central, West North Central, South Atlantic, East South Central, West South Central, Mountain, and Pacific
• Time Unit/Frequency: Annual through 2020.

Modeling Features:

• Model Structure: Nine manufacturing and six nonmanufacturing industries. The manufacturing industries are further subdivided into the energy-intensive and nonenergy-intensive industries
  • Each industry is modeled as three separate but interrelated components consisting of the process/assembly component (PA), the buildings component (BLD), and the boiler/steam/cogeneration component (BSC)
• Modeling Technique: The energy-intensive industries are modeled through the use of a detailed process flow accounting procedure. The remaining industries use the same general procedure but do not include a detailed process flow.
