Software to help evaluate renewable energy solutions in six local authorities

The OnGen tool was identified as potentially a quick and cost-effective means for local authorities to assess renewable energy opportunities within their own estate. The Energy Hub approached local authorities in the region and six were selected to be involved in a pilot, focusing on a range of buildings including transport hubs, markets, leisure centres, museums and council buildings. The tool financially models potential performance, energy saving, and carbon reduction including pay-back periods for investment.
