Lifecycle Feasibility Study
Client: Industrial production facility with aging heat pump system
Challenge: Should they invest in a repair (£28k) or replace the system (£50k)?
Our Approach:
- Surveyed system condition and reliability history (Gathered from CAFM)
- Calculated efficiency deltas between old vs. modern units
- Collected warranty periods and service intervals for both options
- Calculated energy and running cost forecasts over 5 years
Outcome:
- Replacement would reduce monthly energy usage by 22%
- Manufacturer warranty + maintenance bundle lowered exposure
- Payback < 3 years versus repair
Result: Client opted for a full system replacement, which we helped specify and procure. Delivering savings and long-term resilience.
Renewables Feasibility Study
Client: Approved premises facility with high energy consumption
Challenge: Evaluate viability of solar PV, BESS, and backup generator for energy efficiency and resilience.
Our Approach:
- Conducted non-intrusive data logging for 118 hours to capture load, phase balance, and consumption metrics
- Analysed voltage stability, peak demand, and annual projections
- Evaluated system options including G98-compliant PV, Li-ion BESS, and diesel generator
- Calculated financials, CO2 savings, and compliance with BS 7671 and PAS 63100:2024
Outcome:
- Recommended 11 kWp PV with 7-year payback and 90% self-consumption
- Suggested 38 kWh BESS for 4-6 hour backup and 67% ROI
- Identified phase imbalance for 12-15% bill reduction via <£1000 fix
Result: Delivered study in 7 days post-P.O.; client achieved required outcomes plus additional savings from phase correction.
