Feasibility studies and energy plans

It is analyzed whether a proposed solution can be realized technically within the given boundary conditions. For example, are the technical premises large enough for the provided the installation? And what about the presence and capacity of utilities in an existing building?

Equally important is the financial feasibility of each scenario. This is always looked at over the total lifetime of a building to avoid unpleasant surprises later. Where classic feasibility studies only take into account the energy cost, we analyze various costs and benefits such as the initial investment cost, the consumption cost, the annual maintenance cost and the associated personnel costs. Possible revenues are also taken into account: revenues from green certificates or possible profits from the sale of the surplus energy generated in-house. What is the impact of subsidies, taxes or VAT on the overall picture and can local residents or other stakeholders possibly participate in the energy project? In each of the various scenarios, the payback period and internal profitability (investment versus energy savings) are mapped out in a transparent manner.

In terms of sustainability, the energy consumption over the entire lifetime of the installation is of course calculated for each scenario, as are the CO2 emissions. The environmental cost (and financial cost) of disposal and treatment of the installation at the end of its life is also a parameter here.
