Energy per part
Direct energy cost tied to each unit of production.
Facility energy audits
Manufacturing energy audits that go past the utility room
Most energy audits stop at lighting, HVAC, and mechanical rooms. EDE maps your production flow, then overlays energy use at each step to find waste that does not add production value.
What this work covers
Facility energy audits
We do not just look at utility bills. We measure how energy is used to produce your product—idle equipment, oversized systems, compressed-air misuse, process overheating, and HVAC serving non-production loads.
In this work
What we measure
Idle vs. value-added energy
Separating productive consumption from waste.
Compressed air in production
Misuse and oversized demand on the process line.
HVAC interaction with process heat
Simultaneous heating and cooling inefficiencies.
Oversized dust collection
Ventilation running at unnecessary capacity.
Baseline idle energy
What the plant consumes when production is down.
Choose the audit level
Level 1 — Facility walkthrough
A structured walkthrough to identify high-impact opportunities with minimal disruption. We evaluate major systems and provide a prioritized list of savings, estimated ranges, and recommended next steps. Typical scope includes lighting and network lighting controls, HVAC operation and scheduling, compressed air, BMS, demand management, motors, pumps, and ventilation.
Level 2 — Manufacturing process audit
A worthwhile energy project begins with a clear understanding of the problem. EDE’s Level 2 energy audit investigates how your facility uses energy and develops a prioritized plan for reducing avoidable costs. We connect technical findings to the questions management needs answered: What should we change? What could it save? What will it cost? What does implementation require?
Energy value-stream mapping plus targeted measurement remains part of that work. Deliverables can include a manufacturing value-stream energy map, energy-per-part analysis, idle-load identification, project bundling for utility incentives, before-and-after savings modeling, and an implementation roadmap.
Turn findings into an investment roadmap
Depending on the agreed scope, your audit can include:
- A review of utility use, operating schedules, and major energy-consuming systems.
- Field investigation and targeted measurement to test suspected sources of waste.
- Project recommendations with estimated energy savings, implementation costs, and payback assumptions.
- A review of potentially applicable utility incentives, subject to program eligibility and approval.
- Priorities and next steps that help your team move from findings to implementation.
Look beyond the equipment you already suspect
Lighting, compressed air, HVAC, boilers, chillers, process equipment, and building operation can each contribute to unnecessary expense. The assessment scope follows your facility’s systems and needs, including opportunities that may be missed when individual systems are reviewed in isolation.
Make the work manageable for your team
Start by telling us what you have already tried, where you suspect waste, and what would make a project worth pursuing. We will identify the records, site access, and staff input needed to define the audit scope. You do not need to arrive with a diagnosis.
An audit only creates financial value when worthwhile changes are carried through. EDE can help develop the implementation path, including responsibilities, timing, and the information needed for approval.
Share your facility location, shift schedule, and main concerns so we can discuss the right starting point.
