This study elaborates the current practice of industrial energy efficiency barrier analysis by identifying industrial energy efficiency barriers in Latvian manufacturing companies as well as researching barrier interactions. Survey analysis, statistical analysis and factor analysis methods are integrated to transform the qualitative barrier characterizing data into quantitative factors. The differences between the 'implementers' and the 'non-implementers' of energy efficiency measures are compared based on gathered data about their energy efficiency barriers and drivers. Data were gathered in a dedicated survey of stakeholders (owners or company managers) of 40 Latvian industrial companies. © 2019 IEEE.
