• Renewable Energy Overview

  Focused and reliable

  Wind Energy is one of the world's fastest growing renewable energy sources.  Photovoltaics, solar thermal and other strategies are also finding their place in sustainable designs.

  In recent years, there is evidence of a growing commitment to develop and commercialize economical forms of renewable energy generation.  Since 1972, RWDI has attained a broad range of international experience in the disciplines of wind engineering, snow engineering, meteorology, noise and vibration.  This specialized knowledge can be applied directly to wind resource assessments, wind mapping and environmental assessments for wind farms.

  RWDI provides consultation at early stages and throughout the design process.

• Benefits

  Cost effective: Integration of energy opportunities early in design results in cost effective high performance buildings.

  Reducing Environmental Impacts:  RWDI assesses the feasibility of renewable energy strategies to reduce reliance on polluting energy sources.
