We work with developers, contractors, and leading organisations to design MEP solutions that support complex industrial processes, from advanced manufacturing plants to large logistics and distribution centres. Our designs focus on reliability, energy efficiency, and ease of maintenance, ensuring facilities can operate at full capacity with minimal downtime.
We also recognise that future-proofing industrial buildings is key. We integrate smart technologies, renewable energy solutions, and energy optimisation strategies to help clients meet decarbonisation goals and reduce operational costs.
In an energy bills insight, conducted by data and AI leader SAS, analysed ONS data from more than 1.7 million business-owned buildings to understand how much gas and electricity each sector consumes on average - Over the last two years 77% of businesses admit they have increased the prices of products and services due to high energy costs, with some even facing insolvency.
At EDC, we help clients achieve this through smart MEP design, focusing on energy efficiency, electrification of processes, and the integration of on-site renewables. By embedding our early design strategy into the design from day one, we help industrial clients reduce operational costs, improve resilience, and deliver on their long-term sustainability targets.
At EDC, our primary focus on every project is to ensure full compliance with the latest regulations while delivering developments through a fabric-first approach. By working closely with the architect and design team, we optimize key factors such as building orientation, thermal mass, shading, daylighting, and fabric performance to minimize the Energy Performance Coefficient (EPC) and enhance overall efficiency.
This fabric-first methodology significantly reduces the reliance on mechanical systems, renewable technologies, and artificial lighting, leading to lower carbon emissions and reduced capital and operational costs for both developers and occupants.
