Momentum Advantage is your expert in leveraging the power of renewable energy. With the high cost of electricity and gas, renewable energy technology may be the smart way you slash your energy budget. Plus there have been significant advances in renewable energy systems products and technologies. MAP will review your energy demand profile and assess the feasibility of using renewable energy to meet a good portion of that demand.
Solar and geothermal systems for heating and cooling are simple to implement, and have a proven record of drastically reducing energy costs. Geothermal is the quiet revolution, but the word is spreading. Hundreds of companies across the Midwest have slashed their energy costs, and are excited to share their success stories. We first look at how geoexchange can reduce your facility demand for heating and cooling. Then we assess the applicability of wind and solar. With a combination of these systems, it may be possible to reduce energy costs by 75%!! As an example, for a company with a $500,000 energy budget, that is $375,000 in savings! If that same company had a 20% gross margin, that savings translates into almost $2,000,000 in additional sales! Geothermal heating and cooling (geoexchange) in commercial buildings can reduce energy costs by 25% to 40%. Our professional engineers have proven experience in designing geoexchange systems. Your geoexchange design will provide estimated benefits and costs of the ground loop, payback period and specifications. At the time of implementation, we will work hand in hand with the geothermal drillers and mechanical contractor to ensure your system will operate as planned. Other benefits of geoexchange include lower maintenance costs and a smaller in-building footprint. Chicago is the windy city. But in fact it doesn’t stop there. The upper Midwest has very good wind quality with selected areas rated excellent. Commercial and industrial facilities should take a serious look at reducing their electric budget through wind. For the right conditions, a firm can meet all its electricity needs most days of the year, and sell some back. Up front costs to install a wind turbine is $2 to $5 per kW. They don’t all look like wind mills either. The new small wind technologies which have recently come to market make wind generated electricity a good option even in urban areas. The new vertical axis wind turbines which can be roof mounted and are attractive architecturally. Momentum Advantage will conduct an initial site assessment and review your electrical demand to determine if wind energy is right for you. We will then conduct the site design, recommend various wind energy configurations, and manage the installation. Generating electricity from the sun is a well established technology. Surprisingly, many businesses who could benefit from solar have never taken a close look at it. But with electricity costs in Illinois rising over 20% in the next year, now would be an excellent time to have an evaluation done. Up front cost to install a solar system runs $10 to $12 per kW. The roof mounted units can be installed to make it unnoticeable. The new technology solar panels can even track the sun for greater efficiency. Momentum Advantage will conduct a solar assessment of your facility and will make recommendations. We will then design the system, provide options for your consideration and then manage the installation and start up. Buy Only the Power You Need Many times solar and wind can be integrated into a single system. History shows that wind and solar are complimentary with a day being either high wind or bright sun. MAP systems integrate both wind and solar into a single renewable resource. When your system can meet the demand your electricity costs are zero. On those days where the demand is high, or wind and solar are insufficient, you purchase only the amount needed to make up the difference. On a good day, your system may even sell power back to the grid. While your competitors are struggling with skyrocketing energy costs, chart your course towards lean energy. Take advantage of this trend to create competitive advantage. Lowering operating costs mean more money for:
Our trained engineers will explain this exciting new technology and will assess the applicability of geothermal to your next facility project.
