IT Power has carried out feasibility and pre-feasibility studies for both new and refurbishment projects. The company has considerable expertise with integrating renewable energy into a range of developments, including: the use of photovoltaics, solar thermal collectors and wind power in the urban environment; the feasibility of installing combined heat and power plant, and the design of zero energy developments. IT Power is also experienced in assessing the potential for exploiting local biomass and hydro power resources.

Depending on your needs, IT Power can either assess a specific project, or a range of possible options.  We can provide valuable information for the success of a project, allowing you to make informed decisions before committing significant funds.  A study might address key issues such as technical viability, energy output, payback time, legal and planning concerns, and access to finance.  Information from a feasibility study could be used as the basis of a specification for future work, or to assist with the search for funding.

As an example, we have worked with the Environment Agency to assess the integration of renewable energy technologies at one of their regional headquarters, to include wind, PV, solar thermal and off-site wind and mini hydro.  We completed another project to assess the viability of a PV facade for a building belonging to Oxford University. 

IT Power has also carried out feasibility studies for the inclusion of renewable energy in community centres, schools and leisure centres in the UK as well as reviewing the options for large scale solar installations in N Africa, biogas units in China and PV installations in the Pacific.
