De-Risking Your Facility’s Electrification

Process & Timeline

Full EPCM Capabilities

Single-source accountability from concept to completion. We manage design, incentives & tax credits, vendor selection, construction oversight, and startup to streamline execution and mitigate risk.

Technical Expertise

Our engineers are experienced in heat pump & waste heat recovery technology, thermal energy storage systems, and thermal energy modeling to optimize every system design.

Step 1:  PRELIMINARY SYSTEM DESIGN & ANALYSIS ~ 1 month

    • Detailed cataloguing of facility’s existing equipment and operations to create a baseline model

    • Inspection of current electrical panels and service points

    • Documenting of interior & exterior space for potential HPWH equipment

    • Identify potential energy efficiency measures for hot water system & operations

    • All modeling performed with Polysun Designer from Vela Solaris:

    • Baseline system

    • Option #1 – Air-source HPWHs

    • Option #2 – Water-source HPWHs, with Waste Heat Recovery (WHR) and Combined Heating & Cooling (CHC), if facility has refrigeration

    • Option #3 – Water-source HPWHs, with WHR, CHC, and Solar Thermal/PV

    • Highlight energy & cost savings of each option, along with ROIs

    • Discuss equipment options and performance

    • Detail potential Utility Incentives & Financing, and Tax Credits

  2. HPWH & Thermal Energy Storage Tank(s) sourcing

  3. Auxiliary equipment sourcing

  4. Equipment logistics & delivery coordination

Step 4:  CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT ~ 2 - 3 months

  1. Secure & verify final permits

  2. Site prep & civil engineering coordination

  3. Installation supervision & QC

  4. Commissioning & startup support

  5. Close out Utility Incentives & Tax Credits documentation

  6. Operator training & documentation
