Onsite Consultation

Our onsite consultation will assess your existing building at a glance to determine what systems and materials would be right for your project.
Energy Audit

After the audit is complete we can determine what energy systems, roofing and insulation might need to be upgraded, estimate the costs involved and determine the projected payback period..
Feasibility Studies

The wind turbine feasibility study includes 3-4 months of anemometer recordings of wind speeds at your site, an evaluation of your local zoning, permitting, financial incentives and any restrictions.
The solar feasibility study determines how much of your southern facing roofs and windows can be utilized effectively for passive solar, solar hot water systems, and photvoltaic electricity production.
