CLEAN-TECH
Clean technology or Clean Tech, has no single definition, rather it’s a term for range of varied products, services and processes which deliver energy from renewable sources. The process of creating energy using these technologies, either eradicates or massively decreases emissions, waste and any dependence upon natural resources.
Today, most companies have a plan to improve their carbon foot print, and for many that means adding Clean Tech processes like solar, wind or biomass generation into their mix. However, investment capital is a rare commodity for such projects, forcing organizations to consider carefully the full economics of both on or off balance sheet funding or even long term power purchase agreements with developers.
In an environment where projects run in hundreds of thousands, or even millions of dollars, having access to impartial advice has never been more important. Vervantis takes you step by step through the entire process from concept to kilowatt.
Vervantis helps organizations to assess the most appropriate technologies for their needs. Our specialists consider every angle in finding you the most efficient project size and scale, while evaluating all available commercial incentives.

Efficiency
As the saying goes, the cheapest unit of energy, is the one you don’t use. Saving energy reduces consumption, cost and carbon, and technologies are constantly evolving to help you become more profitable, but which ones make commercial sense to implement?
Vervantis has expert engineers who evaluate your facilities, hunting down behavioral and equipment inefficiencies with incredible success. Water, Air, Gas, Electric and Steam (WAGES) are each assessed, along with the production processes you follow.
We pursue optimization of the plumbing, mechanical and electrical systems to attain their maximum efficiency and design intent. We look at the building envelope for air-infiltration issues that can affect the HVAC system. We evaluate the building operations to identify potential savings by eliminating the unnecessary use of existing equipment. We review the preventive maintenance program for all major equipment and the energy management system which monitor and controls it. Our process starts with the no-cost / low-cost solutions before recommending equipment replacement. By educating clients in Behavior-Based Energy and water Conservation strategies we are able to deliver savings of up to 15% with little or no capital investment. Larger projects can be supported by performance contracting and most efficiency upgrades can qualify for rebate and incentive funding – all of which we can help you with.
Why choose us? We have you covered from top to bottom! From buying your energy to how you use it and how to fix what is using too much. Our engineers are expert in finding solutions which deliver dramatic improvements for little or no capital cost – with ROI’s as compelling as ours, why would you choose anyone else?
Generation
Clean-Tech generation uses technologies which accelerate and enable the utilization of renewable energy resources, in addition to energy production from alternative sources such as sewage, waste materials and heat.
Low emission generation technologies (example: solar, wind, biofuels) and those utilizing waste steams (example: landfill or manure), have a number of distinct differences when evaluating their commercial viability and suitability for use.
Vervantis has a specialist team who are able to identify the most appropriate technology to fit your business requirements. Once agreed, we evaluate all the economics, uncovering every area of hidden value, be it tax incentives, utility rebate programs or tariff offsets. As an independent advisor, we give you all the facts on all the costs. We model your scheme over its life, allowing you to take a make or buy decision with confidence.
Once commercial and operational viability has been established, our contracts team are able to tender your project and negotiate terms with vendors to get you the results you expect with an agreement you can sign.
Distribution and Storage
Most of us can't choose when we use energy, and often, that’s exactly the same time when everyone else is! These times of peak use (demand) can create spikes in price and prove problematic in areas where distribution capacity is weak. However, technologies are available which facilitate electricity delivery and provide commercial and industrial customers with more control over how and when their energy is delivered and utilized. Some examples of such technologies are: nickel-metal hydride improvements, advanced metering, flywheels, electrical engineering and controls for distribution of power, compressed air energy storage technology, and power storage for renewable, intermittent, resources.
These technologies can be extremely beneficial both operationally and commercially, in the right setting. As always, having a good understanding of the economics is the cornerstone to successful implementation. The analytical team at Vervantis has over 50 years’ experience in modelling and evaluating projects which bring operational and commercial value.
