Energy Consulting

SiamGPI provides in-depth professional consulting and feasibility studies to users of solar energy and other professionals, architects, and engineering firms.

A feasibility study is indispensable for checking the future realisation of projects particularly in cases where the constructional or technical risks cannot accurately be estimated, and when the successful achievement of specific goals requires further investigation.

A feasibility study will report on the scope and to which extent, with which methods and in which time frame a project can be achieved.

Technical, financial and organisational aspects are examined to ascertain whether conflicts or objections arise between the intended targets of the project and the existing knowledge and information.

In a case where the feasibility study returns an uncontested favourable result, the next step is to calculate the costs for the required energy and cooling factors. It is then possible, from this result, to accurately calculate the recommended solution and its cost.

The sum of the separate measures to be taken will provide the total cost of the technical investment compared with the energy costs.

A major feature of the feasibility study is to carry out sample operational tests to provide a result which is achieved by taking into account the four principle elements of the study:

• Organisational Permutations
• Achievable Commercial Goals
• Achievable Technical Goals
• Availability of Resources
  (Equipment, Materials, Space, Time, Machines)

The feasibility study is therefore the collation of information gathered from an extended test of the possibilities and viability. It includes technical and scientific analysis, pilot tests which may be necessary to compliment the information (ground collector, groundwater testing, etc.), random tests, and expertise which is provided by consultation with knowledgeable specialists concerning the groundwater characteristics, constructional elements of the facade, and the thermal characteristics of the constructional concrete. etc.

SiamGPI undertakes complete feasibility studies with firm recommendations for desired solutions and a full calculation and breakdown of costs;

Our feasibility study will take place during the initiation phase of your project and is made before significant expenses are engaged. The conclusion will determine if a production decision can be made and is used for financing arrangements.

A feasibility study for a solar and / or geothermal heating/cooling system by SiamGPI includes:

1. Location Potentials Analysis Overview
2. Heat loss/gain calculation for the entire building structure
3. Heat loss/gain calculations for the individual spaces within the building structure
4. Improved insulation suggestions
5. Conceptual solar and / or geothermal system configuration design and sizing
6. Investment comparison, payback period analysis
7. Operating cost and energy cost comparison calculations

In order to perform calculations for the heat loss/gain we need information about the building’s conditioned spaces that include:

1. Floor plans for all the conditioned levels
2. Elevation plans with all window information (sizes, types (manufacturer), quantity, R or U values)
3. Building orientation / exposure N-S
4. Basement construction: walls, windows, ceilings (materials and insulation), partitions
5. 1st Floor Construction: walls, windows, ceilings (materials and insulation), partitions
6. All additional floors information as specified in 5
7. Roof structure type, materials, insulation values
8. Occupancy type (number of people in the household or max occupancy for the public spaces)
9. Internal gains (kitchen appliances, fireplaces)
10. Air Tightness (Leaky, Average, Tight)
