Renomics

Renomics can act as the owner’s agent during construction, providing both design and construction advice including:

• Project management
• Cost and schedule management
• Quality management
• Value engineering

Led by sustainability experts, these intensive, on-site sessions engage key stakeholders to set overall goals;
to find (and minimize) blockers; to brainstorm creative solutions; and to gain community buy-in from the beginning. A Charrette Report summarizes the conclusions, recommendations and consensus next steps. These powerful collaborative workshops have been used to guide some of the world’s best-known sustainability projects. Renomics can produce design charrettes for your project too.

Certifications (such as LEED, One Planet and Living Building) provide significant benefits.

Certified properties are easier to lease and sell; they also spend less on energy. The Renomics Team can assist through all phases of the certification process, from assessment to application to management. Typical activities include:

• Recommending the most suitable certification objectives to meet project and economic goals
• Conducting the evaluation as required by the certifying organization
• Managing the application process and subsequent verification
• Managing ongoing monitoring and renewals to ensure the certification has lasting benefit

Renomics can also help clients select, apply for, certify and manage revenue-producing environmental services such as:

• Carbon offsets
• Water reduction or remediation
• Wastewater reclamation
• Biodiversity

Renomics can gather a team of experienced Alliance Partners to create master plans and urban designs.

These plans can encompass mixed use communities, land use permitting and entitlements, sustainability certifications, resource footprints and historical and cultural preservation.

A microgrid is a community-scale electric power infrastructure that is inter-dependent with the larger grid.

The microgrid manages and distributes electricity to its neighborhood, sending energy from renewables to the larger grid when it has extra; and pulling power from the larger grid when it has too little. In the event of a grid outage, the microgrid can isolate itself and maintain local operations until the proglem is resolved. But microgrids are much more than protection against blackouts. They are invaluable to tapping into local renewable energy and for local energy efficiency. The Renomics Alliance can assist with every phase of microgrids, from planning, to installation, to command & control software to ongoing operations.

In collaboration with Alliance Partners, Renomics can model virtually all aspects of a sustainable community on the computer.

It can then simulate real-world operations and interactions to understand likely real-world outcomes, to spot problems in advance, and to experiment with different trade-offs to find the best solution. Renomics can assist with resource, financial and econometric models that accurately portray your project and demonstrate its benefits.

Renomics Corporation can provide long-term support for asset management and maintenance, microgrid operations, security and emergency response, service provider dispatch, waste management and concierge delivery services.

• Asset management for such things as on-site generation, electric power infrastructure, telecommunications infrastructure, wastewater treatment, potable water systems, etc.
• Reliability-Centered Maintenance, a program of computer-assisted preventive maintenance coupled with insurance against equipment failures
• Microgrid command and control centers for digital monitoring and management
• Security and emergency response, ranging from video monitoring to alarm systems to private security guards
• Service provider dispatch and management
• Waste management including garbage pickup, recycling and waste-to-energy services.

A Renomics process flow diagram illustrates the linkages between the major components of a sustainable project.

These diagrams can be used to conceptualize and compare different approaches to sustainable infrastructure. A mass balance calculates the inputs and outputs to determine which approach will minimize the resources coming in and the waste going out. Renomics can prepare process flow and mass balances for all or part of your project.

RCM is an engineering framework that minimizes downtime. It establishes operational, maintenance, and capital improvement policies to manage the risks of equipment failure through computer-assisted preventive maintenance and a constantly updated equipment database.

In conjunction with Alliance Partners, Renomics can help you embed long-term maintenance into every aspect of the project, through design, funding, construction and operation. In addition, we help you gather further protection through innovative insurance products for equipment failure and technology risk.

Integrating on-site and nearby renewable energy (wind, solar, geothermal) is a complex process, but one with major payoffs.

That renewable energy can provide additional revenue and make a community more self-sufficient. Renomics Corporation can assist with careful feasibility analyses, site selection, technology specifications, brand evaluations, command and control and more.

A use case describes a system from the user’s point of view.

They are employed by systems engineers to accurately capture the requirements before a new system is constructed. Use cases ensure that a design is based on actual needs, the guesses by engineers and programmers. Renomics can prepare detailed use cases in the Universal Modeling Language (UML).
