Georgia Industrial Assessment Center (Geo-IAC) at Clark Atlanta University
Clark Atlanta University, in collaboration with Kennesaw State University, plays a role in the Georgia Industrial Assessment Center (Geo-IAC) program. Funded by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Geo-IAC provides free energy and productivity assessments to small- and medium-sized manufacturers, aiming to enhance their operational efficiency and reduce energy consumption.

- Annual energy bills between $100,000 and $3.5 million,
- Annual revenue less than $250 million,
- Manufacturing NAICS Classifications of 31-33 (formerly SIC codes 20–39),
- Location within 150 miles of Clark Atlanta University or Kennesaw State University.
