Feasibility Studies for Heating & Energy Options
Practical, Collaborative Feasibility Studies for Smarter Energy Decisions
Our feasibility studies help building and industry site owners evaluate the most suitable options for HVAC system upgrades or replacements. Whether you're looking to cut carbon emissions, modernise ageing infrastructure, or plan for a building extension, we provide clear, comparative insights across a range of energy solutions.
We take a holistic, collaborative approach which combines analysis, real-world data, extensive experience and your in-house knowledge to ensure the study reflects both technical and operational realities. From biomass to heat pumps, decentralised systems to building envelope upgrades, we provide practical recommendations backed by sound analysis and tailored to your goals.

Our Process for Feasibility Studies for Energy/Heating
STAGE 1
Site visit and information gathering — we meet with you on-site to understand your operations, review energy data, plans and infrastructure, and take a collaborative, holistic view of your goals.
STAGE 2
Identify and assess suitable heating options — considering both technical feasibility and financial performance, including Net Present Value analysis where appropriate.
STAGE 3
Deliver a clear, tailored report — complete with visuals, comparisons and recommendations, followed by an in-person debrief to talk through the findings.
Our Other Services
"New Plymouth District Council engaged Applied Energy to complete a feasibility study of heating energy options for three different Council facilities.
The studies have assessed heating energy options over a 30 year time horizon, and ranked these options in terms of both financial NPV costs and environmental costs.
It hasn’t always been easy for Applied Energy during their works, with COVID lockdowns affecting all of us. Despite this, the studies have been completed on time and within budget which is a testament to their ‘Can do’ attitude and cooperation with Council staff.
We have found Applied Energy a pleasure to deal with. Their communication is excellent and the reports provided are clear and easy to understand. We also value the innovative advice that has been provided."
