Whether for compliance with local legislation and European Directives or to assist you in proper decision making, econing can provide you an independent feasibility study on the implementation of alternative technology systems in your building.

Since we do not sell alternative energy technology, you are assured to receive unbiased, professional advice on the technical, environmental and economic feasibility of alternative energy systems, such as:

• Solar photovoltaic electricity generation
• Small Scale Wind power electricity generation
• Mini Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Plants
• Block Cooling or Heating
• Heat Pumps

Since the 2nd January 2009, in accordance with the European Union's Energy Performance in Buildings Directive (EPBD) and the Maltese Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations all new buildings with a total useful are of over 1000m² require a documented feasibility study on alternative energy systems. This document should be made available on request to the Malta Resources Authority (MRA) or the Malta Environment and Planning Authority (MEPA).

Whilst helping you to comply with these regulations, we can provide you with effective solutions and specific recommendations to make your building more energy efficient in operation. This ensures that once built, the running cost of your premises will be kept at bay and remaining funds can be reinvested elsewhere.

Enquiries on the local market for photovoltaic installations will soon provide you with a multitude of quotations with a variety of system proposals. Many are off the shelf, ready made proposals that are reproduced to individual customers without any degree of customisation. Others claim astronomically high energy yield figures and very short paybacks. In this aggressive marketing environment, it would be foolish to rely on the data from the system sellers alone.

Before investing in a PV system, it is recommended to obtain independent advice and estimations of how the proposed system shall be expected to perform. Econing employs PV modelling software with local meteorological data to provide you with a reliable and unbiased forecast of the expected energy yield and losses of your PV system.
