The LTA-programme’s ongoing goal is to improve energy efficiency on a structural basis. This is why the LTA-programme uses energy management as a framework. The programma focusses on improving energy efficiency of:
- the main production processes, 
- utilities, logistics and  
- buildings

Within the framework there are several instruments to support the industry:

• Measurement lists
  For every sector SenterNovem has developed a specific list of energy efficient measurements. The list is drawn up in close consultation with the sector and specialized energy consultants.
  
  
• User groups
  User groups are a support instrument in which different companies from a sector are brought together in order to improve the energy efficiecy of a preselected subject, like compressed air. The aim is to share and exchange information on the subject and to work together towards energy efficient solutions. An experienced energy consultant supports the group.
  
  
• Knowledge networks
  The LTA-programme supports knowledge transfer by supporting five Knowledge networks: Advanced heat exchanger, Computer aided process engineering, Process intensification, Netherlands Group of Users of Separation Technologies, Industrial drying. 
  Further information can be found on the SenterNovem Knowledge networks website.
  
  
• Software support tools
  The LTA-programme has developed several software support tools:
  
• • Return on Investment (ROI)-decision making.
  • Improving low pressure steam systems efficiency for the food industry.
  • Improving lighting efficiency.
  • Decision making for energy efficient cooling/freezing equipment for supermarkets.
  • Decision making for energy efficient buildings.
  • Decision making for waste heat usage for the foundry industry.
