Manufacturing and service enterprises consume a significant portion of energy; consequently, they impact the environment and sustainability of our societies. There have been a number of initiatives to improve energy efficiencies of homes and commercial buildings. However, over the last five decades energy productivity in industrial enterprises has not kept pace with the remarkable strides that have been made in improving labor and material productivity. At present, and in the foreseeable future, there are significant opportunities to improve energy productivity in these enterprises by reducing energy waste, using better technologies and techniques for designing and managing their operations. This workshop will provide a critical role in defining a roadmap for research and innovation into improving energy-efficiency of all aspects of manufacturing and service enterprise operations, by bringing together researchers in academia, government, and industry. The workshop will be organized around sessions focused on the following topics: building operations, logistics operations, grid operations, and factory operations. Leading researchers from academia, government and industry will be invited to contribute via keynote addresses and by serving as panelists. In order to ensure significant participation, poster presentations are solicited as well. In addition, breakout sessions will serve to obtain input from participants on short-term and long-term research needs.

制造业和服务业企业消耗大量能源，因此，它们影响到我们社会的环境和可持续性。已经采取了一些措施来提高家庭和商业建筑的能源效率。然而，在过去的五十年里，工业企业的能源生产率并没有跟上在提高劳动和物质生产率方面取得的显著进步。目前，在可预见的将来，这些企业有很大的机会通过减少能源浪费、使用更好的技术和技巧来设计和管理其业务来提高能源生产率。该研讨会将通过汇集学术界，政府和工业界的研究人员，在确定研究和创新路线图以提高制造和服务企业运营各个方面的能源效率方面发挥关键作用。该研讨会将围绕以下主题组织会议：建筑运营，物流运营，电网运营和工厂运营。来自学术界、政府和工业界的主要研究人员将应邀通过主旨演讲和担任小组成员作出贡献。为了确保大量参与，还征求了海报介绍。此外，分组会议将有助于就短期和长期研究需求征求与会者的意见。
