The Energy Design Engineers Impact

Our team has extensive experience working on projects in various industries, and we’ve helped our clients achieve impressive energy savings and cost reduction results.

Clients in the healthcare, manufacturing, and retail sectors reduced their energy usage by 30-40% compared to industry benchmarks.

Our solutions not only help our clients save money on their energy bills, but they also have a lower cost of ownership than those of our competitors, making them a smart investment for any business.

TOGETHER WE CAN SAVE

Energy Design Engineers specializes in helping companies reduce energy waste and save money by providing tailored energy audits, implementing advanced technologies to offer more significant energy savings, and higher utility rebates because of the more significant kWh reductions our projects bring.  Our comprehensive energy audits identify inefficiencies in HVAC systems, lighting, compressed air, motors, and other equipment and then offer targeted solutions to optimize energy use. Focusing on one or multiple vital areas like motors, compressed air, and boilers helps businesses minimize unnecessary energy consumption and lower utility costs. Their expertise extends across various sectors, including manufacturing, distribution, and food processing, where they support clients in achieving operational efficiency and reducing their carbon footprint.

For the past 15 years, Energy Design Engineers has been the Midwest’s largest supplier of network lighting controls (NLC).  Today, companies are struggling to find more energy savings (fixed cost reductions) and NLC is an area they still need to include.  This is largely because they don’t know it exists.  Our NLC systems consistently deliver an additional 30-40% energy savings over the LED-only solution, and because of how we leverage utility rebates, we can often get 20 – 30% of the NLC upgrade paid for by the utility. The benefits of NLC are clear and convincing. 

For landlords with large office buildings, HVAC makes up 40 – 60% of the total energy spend, and lighting can make up 20 – 25%.  Again, using advanced motors and technology, today use 70% less energy than traditional models. Adopting these two technologies alone could reduce your total energy bills by 30 – 40%.

The Energy Design Impact
90% of all executives value sustainability as very important. Yet, only 60% have a sustainability strategy. Clearly, there is a gap between good intentions and action/sustainable results.
Power Quality Correction
Power quality correction is essential for maintaining the efficient and reliable operation of electrical systems, particularly in industrial and commercial environments

20+

Years of Experience

We apply science, engineering, and math to find the right solution for our clients.

Experience

Since 2008 we have led with the newest of technologies to help our clients, often deploying services and technology our competition has never heard of.

Quality First

why buy something if the industry tells you that it has a five year life expectancy, when you can buy a product to do the same job that will last 3-times longer and save 30% more annually on energy costs.

Approach

we apply science, engineering, and math to find the right solution for our clients.

Listening

we are taught to listen first and ask a lot of questions to find out how we can help our clients improve their operations while reducing their operating costs.

Compressed Air Optimization

At Energy Design Engineers (EDE), we specialize in helping manufacturers optimize their compressed air systems—often the most overlooked and expensive utility in industrial facilities. Over the past four years, our team has partnered with industry leaders such as Martinrea, Antolin, Kautex Tenneco, Worthington, Brembo, Magna, and Flex-N-Gate, among others, delivering nearly $2 million in collective energy savings.  From ultrasonic leak detection to complete system optimization, we tailor our solutions to uncover inefficiencies, reduce demand, and increase reliability, without disrupting production.

Today, Fortune 1000 manufacturers are turning to EDE for a straightforward reason: results. Our proven compressed air optimization program not only lowers energy costs but also plays a crucial role in reducing carbon emissions and helping achieve sustainability targets. Backed by utility funding and actionable data, our approach delivers fast payback and long-term environmental impact. 

Our experienced compressed air team has over 80 years of collective experience working in manufacturing plants. Whether it’s a single plant or a global footprint, EDE equips your team with the tools and insights needed to drive measurable performance improvement, starting with your compressed air system.
