Plan your development with future proof solutions

Urbanomy models and evaluates energy systems and technologies to support the development of low or zero-carbon campuses, districts and communities.

We analyse retrofit opportunities as well as new developments.

Our missions

  • Low carbon energy and mobility masterplan

  • Pre-design of the local energy system

  • Decarbonisation of uses (heat, transport)

  • Renewable development and flexibility

Use Cases

notice

The need: ensuring a new development of 2,500+ homes is net zero
The client: a developer

  • Diagnosis

    What are the needs?

    • Identify the energy needs based on building uses and typologies

  • Benchmarking

    Where are we at? Are we meeting / exceeding requirements

    • Regulation and initiatives to take into account for compliance and / or external recognition
    • Alignment to local energy plan

  • Evaluation

    What are our options and how do they perform?

    • Design of strategy to achieve 15 kwh/m2/year of building heating requirements in line with the Future Homes Standard (2024 ready)
    • Use of V2G to cover up to more than 100% of all load costs / 22,400 MW flex/year, arbitration of 4,200 MW flex/year for DSO and 22,000 MW flex/year for FR excluding opportunity costs that would contribute to significantly reduce value

  • Business case development

    How will we pay for this?

    • Assess business models to optimise cost and implementation

  • Implementation

    How we will rool this out?

    • Develop data dashboards to support stakeholder engagement and decision-making
notice

The need: understanding options to transition from gas boilers to low- and zero- carbon alternatives
The client: a developer

  • Diagnosis

    What are the needs?

    • Identify space heating and hot water needs based on building uses and typologies

  • Benchmarking

    Where are we at? Are we meeting / exceeding requirements

    • Provide insight on current and expected policy requirements (e.g. Future Home Standards, ban on gas boilers)
    • Provide insight on the leading technologies and their deployment

  • Evaluation

    What are our options and how do they perform?

    • Identify suitable, policy-compliant centralised and decentralised systems
    • Simulate the performance of those systems on your site to evaluate their strenghts and weakenesses

  • Business case development

    How will we pay for this?

    • Estimate the range of investment required to deliver systems, as well as operational costs and savings
    • Estimate a high-level return on investment for those systems

  • Implementation

    How we will rool this out?

    • Adivise on partners that can develop, oerate and maintain systems
    • Engage with local and regional stakeholders, such as the local authorities and IDNO/DNO
