ENERGY PERFORMANCE CONSULTATION

ENERGY PERFORMANCE CONSULTATION

Energy performance consultation can help companies to implement national and international standards of energy and environmental management. Together we enable the development of energy management systems and modern solutions to make a significant change in energy consumption and environmental health.

The prepared design task is supplemented with requirements for the thermal characteristics of the building’s walls, technical parameters of engineering systems and renewable energy sources, we advise on issues of sealing, we perform calculations of long thermal bridges. Energy efficiency assessment is relevant for both new construction and renovated buildings.

Together with the client, energy management systems and modern engineering and building envelope insulation solutions are developed, which can significantly reduce energy costs.

Our professional team provides:

  • Energy Performance Certification
  • Consultation on compliance with National Energy Performance requirements
  • Consultation on building energy performance in accordance with the best practice
  • Strategy of NZEB (Net Zero Energy Building) design development

BENEFITS:

  • Consultation helps you to evaluate the best solution for energy consumption reduction
  • Consultation helps to identify opportunities to improve building performance

VERIFICATION OF EPD AND LCA STUDIES

VERIFICATION OF EPD AND LCA STUDIES

Third-party EPD verification is an integral part of EPD preparation that ensures EPD quality. The purpose of the verification is to check whether all the information provided in the EPD document is correct and whether the EPD was carried out in accordance with all the standard requirements for the declaration.

Verification of LCA studies – is like EPD verification, ensures the quality of the LCA study. Verified LCA results are needed in various cases, one of which is to assess the environmental impact of the supply chain.

We have approval as third-part verifier from the following EPD operators:

  • EPD International
  • EPD Norge
  • RTS

LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT - LCA

LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT - LCA

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a method for assessing the environmental aspects associated with a product over its life cycle. LCA helps to evaluate the impact of the product on various environmental indicators, such as the global warming potential (kgCO2e), depletion of ozone layer, the usage of non-renewable energy resources, acidification, the amount of waste generated.

LCA can be used to identify the phase of a product’s life cycle where the product has the greatest impact on the environment. This information is important in finding the ways to reduce the impact of the product on the environment, to optimize production, optimize energy and raw material usage. Also, LCA analysis allows comparing different production methods, different raw materials, types of energy – to model several production alternatives.

A life cycle assessment can also be carried out on a building to find out its overall impact on the environment. The assessment can help to find optimal design solutions, select, and compare building materials.

Our professional team provides:

  • Consulting on LCA data collection
  • LCA performance and report preparation
  • Recommendations on production optimization, product impact reduction
  • Independent third-party verification of LCA studies

BENEFITS:

  • The standardized environmental impact results of your product
  • Identified life cycle stages where the product has the greatest impact on the environment
  • It is possible to compare different alternatives of production, used raw materials or energy
  • The completed LCA can be used to prepare an EPD or obtain other certificates that require a life cycle analysis

CARBON NEUTRAL CONSULTATION

CARBON NEUTRAL CONSULTATION

The greenhouse effect is the process by which infrared radiation from the Sun is absorbed by the Earth’s atmosphere and heats the planet. Greenhouse gases (GHGs) are gaseous components of the atmosphere of natural and anthropogenic origin that absorb and re-emit infrared radiation. The main types of GHGs are carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) and nitrogen trifluoride (NF3). The main sources of GHG are transport, energy, agriculture, industry and the waste sector.

In most cases, the carbon footprint or GHG emissions are a priority issue to work with for an organization aiming for climate neutrality. The carbon footprint can be balanced by reducing the amount of GHG emissions into the atmosphere.

In the initial stage, the organization’s GHG inventory for the reporting year is compiled. Then, GHG reduction targets and a commitment to become climate neutral in time are set. We help you prepare an action plan on how to achieve the set goals.

Together with the GHG elimination or compensation strategy, energy efficiency is increased in the company. This is a key aspect of the sustainability strategy, based on the social and economic responsibility of the company.

Our professional team provides:

  • We consult before carrying out an analysis of the carbon footprint of the company/organization;
  • We calculate the amount of greenhouse gases emitted by companies/organizations in assessment areas I, II and III;
  • We prepare a calculator and provide training on how to calculate the amount of greenhouse gas emissions;
  • We prepare a GHG inventory report according to the GHG protocol, GRI or ISO 14064 standards;
  • We help determine the principles of GHG emissions management;
  • We consult in order to create a climate neutrality strategy;
  • We advise and help you choose the most effective energy management tools;
  • We help prepare the GHG reduction reports of the projects financed with the funds of the “Climate Change Special Program”.

BENEFITS:

  • Reducing the amount of greenhouse gas emissions increases the company’s competitiveness and advantage in the market;
  • Declare the company’s organizational, economic and social responsibility;
  • Helps to gain a strong position in the market and greater potential;
  • Ensures business credibility among interested parties;
  • Helps generate stable income and long-term returns;
  • Investors are more likely to choose products or services from environmentally friendly and responsible businesses.

ENERGY AUDITS

ENERGY AUDITS

An energy audit is a procedure performed by assessing the current condition of the building, detecting potential areas for improvement and creating a plan to reduce energy costs and increase energy efficiency. We conduct audits of various types of energy consumption, both in accordance with Lithuanian legislation and in accordance with international standards, such as ASHRAE.

We prepare energy consumption audits of various types of buildings, according to Lithuanian legislation and international standards, e.g. ASHRAE.

Our professional team provides:

  • Consulting on best audit system
  • Proceeding measurements of building
  • Collecting data and calculating
  • Selecting optimal energy saving solutions
