NZDF – Waiouru Army Base, Waiouru
We have completed a Base wide comprehensive energy audit on the Waiouru Army Base for the NZDF Property Group.
This involved approximately 400 buildings including barracks, armouries, workshops, hospitals, boiler houses, firing ranges and everything in between, a very challenging and interesting exercise.
The audit's goal was to supply the NZDF with a comprehensive 'snap-shot' of what the energy usage is currently being used up by and to offer opportunities to lower energy usage, to consolidate energy usage base wide and to consider medium term supplementary system proposals.

Hanmer Springs – Thermal Pools Hanmer
In the true tradition of thinking outside of the square, keeping it simple and looking after our client’s bottom line, Renewable Solutions have installed a underfloor heating system, on the face of things a very common and very unexciting in a practical sense, but simply smart in another way. By using a fraction of the pools waste water, for heating the café, Renewable Solutions have allowed the client to avoid installing inefficient and costly heat pump systems and as the waste water will always be available, the running costs are basically zero – hard to beat!
Ashley Boarding Cattery - Rangiora
