How We Address Your Energy System Challenges
Our tailored consultancy process is designed to learn about and tackle your most pressing issues and concerns.
Our Process
Step One: Opportunity Identification
We begin by listening.
We assess your current energy landscape, identify gaps or inefficiencies, and define potential opportunities. Our goal is to uncover high-impact, tailored solutions that align with your goals, budget and constraints and develop a plan to address your key concerns. For example:
ISSUE #1: Reliability
Are your systems and equipment past their useful life or beginning to fail?
We assess system reliability and performance potential to modernize energy supply systems and improve reliability to avoid disruption of essential services and critical equipment.
ISSUE #2: Energy & Cost Savings
Are your utility costs excessive?
We perform energy audits and feasibility evaluations, looking at your loads, efficiency measures and energy supply options to identify opportunities for savings and help manage your costs.
ISSUE #3: Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Reduction and Environmental Betterment
Have you addressed Local, State and Federal policies and regulations?
Do you have internal ESG objectives to meet?
We quantify your environmental parameters and GHG emissions to identify reduction opportunities and navigate energy policies to ensure your projects comply with all necessary standards.
ISSUE #4: Load Growth
Are you expanding an existing facility or new enterprise and unsure how you will meet your growing energy demands?
We help identify and meet your anticipated energy, heating and cooling requirements.
ISSUE #5: Comfort
Do you have “chilly” areas in occupied spaces?
We develop HVAC solutions to address uneven thermal distribution and improve occupants’ comfort.
Step Two:
Feasibility & Strategy Development
We then translate your challenges into clear, strategic options.
Whether exploring advanced technologies or conventional systems, we evaluate technical, economic, operational and environmental feasibility, delivering early stage sketches and economic models, recommending implementation plans and assembling expert teams.
Potential solutions include:
Hybrid Solutions
Managing the transition to electrification with fuels of the future: Hybrid systems as the pathway to decarbonization.
We combine fuel and electric energy supply equipment as well as efficiency upgrades, often in a prioritized schedule to accommodate budget constraints.
Advanced & Conventional Technology Applications
Advanced technologies include heat recovery chillers, thermal energy storage systems, cogeneration, renewable energy, many developments in energy conservation equipment, and the control and integration of new technology with existing energy plant systems.
Often, these ‘cutting edge technologies’ do not have a long track record. Energy WorkNet develops and participates in pilot and demonstration projects and welcome presenting novel equipment applications with you.
Electrification and Fuel Integration
Includes technologies such as heat pumps and on-site renewable power generation such as solar energy systems.
Because these electrification measures may be too expensive to implement all at once, they may be implemented in phases. For example, on-site combustion systems that include existing boilers provide part of the needed energy to the customer and are integrated with electric systems to furnish the remaining energy required.
Incentive Programs
Utilities and State Agencies offer capital cost contributions for projects that include energy savings and Greenhouse Gas reductions. We will advise you of programs that provide incentives to reduce your capital outlay.
Step Three:
Design & Engineering Guidance
Finally, we provide a comprehensive, data-informed package of reports, schematics and calculations – the foundation for detailed design and execution – to support your team or third-party engineers in implementing our feasible and practical solutions.
