Smart initial design is reducing the capital premium, if any, associated with new and renovated green buildings. Often the capital cost premiums associated with green projects can be attributed to the addition of distributed renewable energy infrastructure such as solar, wind, geothermal, bio-mass etc.
Creating the business case for installing renewable energy infrastructure to provide all or a portion of a building's energy needs is often a fairly complicated analysis. Applicable technology review and selection, local weather patterns, building orientation, cost of capital, local energy rates, existing energy consumption patterns, applicable government subsidies (if any) are just a few of the many elements that need to be factored into creating an appropriate business case for building specific renewable energy infrastructure installations.
Windmill provides the following services to assist in the selection, adoption and financing of distributed renewable energy projects:
Business Case Development
Windmill will conduct a review of the most
applicable renewable energy technologies as they pertain to the chosen
geography and building structure.
Once the appropriate technologies are chosen, Windmill will create
a comprehensive feasibility study to determine the most suitable
technology and estimated
payback time, taking into consideration available financial programs
that may help decrease the payback period.
Financing of Micro-Utility Systems
After completing a business case proving the viability of a micro-utility
installation, Windmill can also provide building owners a variety of
financing options to simplify the installation economics of the chosen
renewable micro-utility system.

Approximately 10% of all GHG emissions in Canada come from direct operating energy consumption in buildings. The construction industry contributes another 30% of GHG emissions indirectly through the production, transportation and waste of materials.
