Benchmarking provides a quantitative comparison between industry average and best practices relative to energy efficiency, productivity, waste reduction, and environmental cost-effectiveness. The last comprehensive study of the glass industry's energy use practices was conducted in the mid 1980s. This year DOE's Office of Industrial Technology has initiated an benchmarking project for the glass industry. This paper reviews the scope of data to be collected and the format of expected results.
