The full story

What the plant asked for — and what EDE delivered

Worthington Industries partnered with EDE to upgrade the Jackson, Michigan facility with networked lighting controls. Average light level increased from 15 to 30 footcandles, while lighting energy load fell by more than 85%. Occupancy-based zones eliminated runtime in areas empty for hours. The project cut 615 metric tons of CO₂ annually and unlocked an additional $157,418 in utility incentives, covering 50% of project cost. Expected maintenance is minimal for more than 25 years. Simple payback: 1.41 years. Ten-year positive cash flow: $629,260.
