recent renewable energy projects

Viridis Energie Consultants have worked on a wide range of projects for both the commercial and residential sectors.

We have the capacity and knowledge to deliver innovative solutions for a wide range of projects. Whether your project is large or small, it is important to make right decisions. We believe our personal service, and independence are important to our clients. We have vast experience in all projects. Here are just some:

Victorian Villa renovation in Surrey – The client needed independent advice on a range of renewable energy systems, including solar heating, heat pumps, rainwater harvesting and biomass. We designed the systems, provided full cost analysis, calculated carbon reductions, and searched for additional local grants.
Large Country home in Yorkshire – The client needed independent advice on best ways to reduce energy bills in the home. We carried out a preliminary feasibility study to determine what renewable energy technologies suited the property, which led to our full service, looking at solar heating, solar panels, and biomass boilers. We designed the systems, provided full cost analysis, calculated carbon reductions, and searched for additional local grants.
School in Kent – The client needed independent advice on solar PV. We designed the system, provided full cost analysis, calculated carbon reductions, and provided all the necessary information required for LCPB grant application.
Farm in Yorkshire – The client was interested in a wind turbine. We carried out a feasibility study, provided full cost analysis, calculated carbon reductions, and searched for additional local grants.
Shopping Centre in Kent – The client was interested in solar panels (for electricity) and rainwater harvesting. We carried out a preliminary feasibility study, designed the systems, provided full cost analysis, and calculated carbon reductions.
Domestic premises in Cheshire- The client was interested in a ground source heat pump. We carried out a preliminary feasibility study, with approximate costings.
Small commercial premises in Kent – The client was interested in renewable energy. We carried out a preliminary feasibility study, which concluded that solar PV panels were the most suitable technology. We designed the system, provided full cost analysis, and calculated carbon reductions.
New build property in Hampshire – The client was interested in building the property as “eco” as possible. From the plans, we were able to design the systems, provided full cost analysis, calculate carbon reductions, and search for additional local grants. This included solar heating, solar PV panels, air source heat pumps, and rainwater harvesting.
Pool House in Kent- The client is building a large pool house, and is looking for independent advice on a range of renewable technologies. We are specifying, providing cost analysis and grant information on both air source and ground source heat pumps, solar PV, and solar thermal.
Barn conversion in Norfolk – The client initially required independent advice on a range of renewable energy technologies, which included, a ground source heat pump, biomass boiler, solar PV panels, and rainwater harvesting. We designed/specified the systems, specific to their requirements, provided detailed cost analysis, carbon reductions, and searched for local grants. The client was so pleased that we gave them specific cost analysis on each of the technologies, which enabled them make the best decision.

The clients have now asked us to help manage a tender process for solar PV

12,000 sq ft property in Surrey – The client required independent advice on a range of renewable energy technologies to reduce their energy bills, and carbon footprint. They had already had a quote for a ground source heat pump. We deemed this unsuitable for the property, and suggested other renewable technologies that would be both, more cost effective, and environmentally friendly. Saving the client in excess of £50k!
Domestic coastal premises in Kent – The client required independent advice on the suitabilty of a wind turbine for their site. Our initial visit suggested that it was not suitable, and we recommended solar PV as an alternative. Our calculations proved that solar was, indeed, more suitable.

The client was impressed with our honest appraisal, and has since provided references for other projects.

11,000 sq ft property in Hampshire - The property also had several other buildings and an equestrian centre. The client wanted independent advice on how to reduce the substantial fuel bills, using renewable energy technologies. Our initial site survey, suggests that a wind turbine would provide a significant amount of electricity, and that biomass boilers would be the most effective method of heating the property to the required level, whilst making savings.

The client was so pleased with the initial service, that they have instructed us to investigate the possibility of a wind turbine further.

Solar PV and thermal project for client in Kent - The client had already researched the market and found a potential installer. The installer offered 3 different manufacturer types of solar PV, but was unable to provide detailed cost analysis on which panel provided the best performance! We are able to do so, and consequently provided the necessary details. The client was also interested in updating their current solar thermal system (which was broken!). The same installer provided a fair quote. However, whilst they were MCS accredited for solar PV, they weren’t for solar thermal. As a result of this, the client wasn’t eligible for any grants, or payments from the “renewable heat incentive” (due on 2011). The client was not made aware of this by the potential installer!?
Solar project for home/business premises – The client was interested in solar options for their home, which also has an office annexe. We provided preliminary advice, and cost analysis on the most suitable technologies.

The client commented “Barry provided a professional, helpful and knowledgeable service surveying our premises for energy savings. Giving good advice and detailed costing on helping our IT Services become greener and more cost effective by using renewable energy”. Roland Nowak Nova IT Solutions.
