The ExBESS project commenced in October 2007 and is a continuation of the BESS (Benchmarking and Energy management Schemes in SMEs) funded under the Intelligent Energy - Europe project. It extends to the industrial SME sectors in and beyond the food and drink industry e.g. textile/carpet, machinery, crafts (e.g. installers) etc. ExBESS aims to implementing energy management and benchmarking in at least 80 additional pilot companies. These new pilot companies will be enabled to benchmark their energy data with hundreds of other companies, expected to be included as a result of the BESS outreach.
