Markets We Serve

From manufacturing plants to grocery stores, schools, warehouses, and offices, EDE finds energy waste where it hides. Manufacturing is first. Other facilities when the waste is real.

Markets we work in

The floors. First.

Mom-and-pop shops to Fortune 500 plants. If the waste is real, we measure it. Manufacturing stays first.

Automotive manufacturing floor with LED high-bay lighting

Primary market

Auto and manufacturing

LED high-bays, compressed air, HVAC, and process loads around production. Named plants include Brembo, Motor City Stamping, Camshaft Machine, Worthington, and Loc Performance.

Warehouse aisle with LED high-bay lighting and pallet racking

Distribution

Warehouse and distribution

High-bay lighting, dock HVAC, and occupancy-based controls in long-hour aisles. LED plus network lighting controls stop empty bays from running at 100% all shift.

Grocery store with LED lighting over produce and frozen-foods aisles

Food & grocery

Grocery and food retail

Lighting, HVAC, and refrigeration that run all hours the store is open. Named grocery work includes Meijer.

Industrial facility systems EDE measures

Food manufacturing

Food processing

Refrigeration, process heat, compressed air, and sanitation-driven HVAC loads. Production still comes first. The audit maps energy to the line, not only to the utility bill.

High-bay LED installation in an industrial building

Automotive

Auto plants and suppliers

Process air, lighting on the line, and HVAC that cannot take the plant down. Visibility from LED and stable compressed air show up in both EDE plant work and the 2025 auto flyer.

Car dealership

Auto dealerships

Showroom and service-bay lighting, HVAC, and exterior lighting that run long hours. Controls follow occupancy so empty bays are not lit like a night shift.

LED and controls →

Schools & universities

Education facilities

LED and HVAC that improve comfort, air quality, and operating cost without disrupting class. EDE still starts with measured waste.

HVAC and BMS →

Office spaces & buildings

Offices and commercial buildings

Lighting, HVAC, and network controls that follow occupancy and daylight so empty floors do not stay at 100%.

Network lighting controls →

Healthcare

Healthcare and senior living

Comfort, code, and reliability with a clear operating-cost case. Lighting and HVAC still get measured. The 30-minute review is the first step.

Primary market · Auto and manufacturing

Compressed air, lighting, HVAC, and process loads around production

Auto plants and manufacturers run lights, air, and HVAC against production constraints. EDE measures those systems, then helps capture Consumers Energy and other utility incentives as a Trade Ally.

Consumers Energy’s 2025 automotive materials describe the same three upgrades — LED, HVAC, and compressed air — plus non-energy effects on visibility, scrap, safety, and maintenance.

  • LED high-bays and network lighting controls that follow occupancy on the line
  • Ultrasonic leak detection and compressor-room tuning
  • HVAC, BMS, and process heat that match how the plant actually runs

Also served

When the waste is real, the market is not a slogan

Farms, ski lodges, churches, parking decks, grow operations, and greenhouses remain secondary. Manufacturing stays first.

Farms and greenhouses

Grow lighting, ventilation, and process loads with a measured payback — not a lighting catalog dropped on a barn.

Churches and community buildings

Occupancy-driven lighting and HVAC for spaces that sit empty between use.

Parking decks and exteriors

High-hour lighting where controls and lumens per watt matter every night.

Ski lodges and hospitality

Seasonal buildings with large HVAC and lighting loads when they are open.
