Specializing in innovative solutions to reduce, reuse and replace your energy needs

Ravis Sustainable offers consulting, pre-feasibility studies, custom software modeling services and engineering analyses on a wide range of renewable energy and thermal applications.

THERMAL MODELING, TECHNOLOGY EVALUATION AND PASSIVE DESIGN

Using advanced software simulation tools such as TRNSYS™, Ravis Sustainable offers design, performance testing and optimization of thermal energy systems. Examples include:

• Design validation of complex and integrated renewable energy systems (i.e. district heating, combined heating/cooling and power systems, and multiple integrated technologies).

• Predicting building envelope performance, testing of passive solar building design and high performance buildings.

• Fundamental heat transfer problem solving and optimization of design parameters such as insulation thickness, storage tank size, thermal panel size, etc.

• Technology evaluation of stand-alone and combined systems including Geothermal Heat Pumps, Photovoltaics, Solar Domestic Hot Water, Combined Heat and Power and Biomass combustion systems.

AIR FLOW MODELING

Using advanced software simulation tools such as CONTAM™, Ravis Sustainable also offers air flow and infiltration modeling, natural ventilation and cross-zone air flow calculations. Combined with thermal modeling this is a powerful method of analyzing building performance.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY & MANAGEMENT

"The largest source of untapped energy is the energy we waste"

- Canadian Minister of Natural Resources, Gary Lunn. Oct 2006.

Using natural resources much more efficiently (i.e. resource productivity) is both profitable and good for the environment. But how to decide which technology or which combination of technologies to implement can be difficult and intimidating

Ravis Sustainable can provide guidance and information, perform an energy audit and build a custom energy plan for your home, business or community. Ravis Sustainable provides the following Energy Management Services
