As part of an effort to lower energy consumption levels among individuals and small establishments that use energy, The Energy Extension Service, operating in ten pilot states, has implemented programs which focus on the particular needs of small businesses. These programs have been developed to deliver a range of services to the many different kinds of enterprises which fit into the small business category. The programs currently operating in the ten pilot states are described and examples are given. In Alabama, Auburn University provides information and analyses to test the feasibility of using alternative fuels for small businesses. In Connecticut, the Department of Commerce provides audits to businesses throughout the State. In Michigan, the Department of Commerce, through two contractors, provides seminars to one tenth of the small businesses in southeastern Michigan. In New Mexico, the small business program provides demonstration audits of small businesses using alternative energy sources. In Pennsylvania, EES, in connection with the Pennsylvania State University, provides technical assistance to small businesses throughout the State. In Tennessee, the program provides audits, seminars, and counseling services to small businesses in three of that state's counties. In Texas, the Texas A and M College of Engineering operates an information retrieval system for small manufacturers through a bi-monthly bulletin. In Seattle, Washington, the small business program provides audits to Mom and Pop type businesses in two of that city's neighborhoods. In Wisconsin, the University of Wisconsin provides seminars and audits to hospitality industry businesses. In Wyoming, the small business program provides seminars to firms in the building industry.
