The National Laboratory of the Rockies and Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a free software tool called JUSTIFI to help manufacturers assess the full value of energy improvement projects, including productivity gains and safety improvements. By quantifying these benefits, businesses can strengthen the business case for projects, reduce payback periods, and align with strategic objectives. The tool has been well-received, with over 1,000 users trying it since its beta release in April 2025. Users can access JUSTIFI to build a complete business case for their energy productivity projects without needing formal training.
