More Information

SMG has worked on products, projects, and services in all sectors of energy use – residential, commercial, industrial, transportation, supply – electricity.

The SMG strategy for all projects begins with the identification, classification, cataloguing, and analysis of all current usage. Using current usage as a baseline, more efficient energy use options are evaluated.

The best options are proposed to our clients who help us select those needing further evaluation.

The feasibility studies for each selected option include design and life cycle cost benefit analyses. The results of the feasibility studies are the foundation for a selection and implementation strategy.

The following is a partial list of the types of efficient energy use systems that SMG has worked on:

• Building energy management and control systems
• Computer aided design, analysis, simulation
• Education, training
• Energy audits and conservation
• Energy policy
• Energy storage for mobile and stationary applications: batteries, flywheels, fuel cells, hydrogen, thermal…
• Industrial energy management and control systems
• Intellectual property: inventions, patents, processes, software…
• Regional EEU planning: towns, cities, provinces…
• Renewable energy systems: geothermal; small hydro; ocean – tidal, wave; solar – electric, thermal; wind

By following the More Information Link below, you will be taken to the SMG lists of EEU options in all sectors that have proven in our experience to be the most economical based on total life cycle costs. Many have payback periods of less than a year.
