The industrial sector uses one third on the energy in the United States from a variety of sources. Therefore, to ensure the security of future energy needs and amid global competition it is important to sustain the industrial sector in the most efficient way possible.

The industrial sector has seen a large implementation of energy efficient technology in the last decade for several reasons. Environmental stewardship accompanied with potential climate change has forced many companies and industries to reevaluate their practices. The reevaluation also allows companies to look at inefficiencies within their production process, giving energy efficiency a strong link between profit and stewardship.

The U.S. government provides a wealth of information on new technologies and energy efficient solutions while the state of Michigan energy office provides information unique to Michigan companies and residents.
