Project summary
- FG were instructed by L7 to complete a feasibility study into the viability of solar PV at the JQ Modern building in the heart of Birmingham.
- This included identifying the maximum capacity of PV that could be installed, considering this in the context of L7’s demand requirements and obtaining indicative quotes for the installation.
Solution
- We engaged with our Client to fully understand their aims and objectives.
- We looked at how we could add value from a future management and investment standpoint, in their push towards creating a 'greener' building incorporating renewable energy.
- We produced an e-report detailing our advice and recommendations including the benefits and potential pitfalls of a PV system on such a building.
- We considered the planning implications for such an installation. We summarised our findings in a way that could be used for ESG and future green investment planning.
Benefits
- The Client ended up with a clear understanding of the solar capacity capability, potential carbon savings, planning constraints and challenges and the likely impact on current energy use through the building.
- Key data is compiled and presented in an easy-tounderstand format which can be presented at Board level and used to inform financial investment decisions.
