Feasibility study

Feasibility Study: A Solid Basis for Decision-Making for Your Energy-Saving and Efficiency Project.

In energy-intensive operations, savings can be achieved by combining energy sources, processes, and plant operations. The ONI feasibility study provides an analysis, practical scenarios, and a report detailing costs, ROI, and recommendations to support investment decisions. This is supplemented by operational analyses and ONI consulting to develop an efficient, reliable project plan.

  • Technical & Economic Feasibility Check: Comparison of options, cost-benefit analysis, ROI, and technical feasibility.
  • Risks & Feasibility: Identification of constraints, bottlenecks, and risks with recommendations for minimization.
  • Implementation Roadmap: Prioritized measures, data requirements, and next steps, including support for funding and regulatory compliance.

Page Overview

Well-founded & practical

Requirements from operations, processes, and infrastructure

What constraints does the location impose? It is precisely this foundation that determines whether a solution will run smoothly in everyday use or become a long-term success later on.

  • Clear Objectives & Decision-Making Questions
    The analysis must clearly answer: Is the project feasible and worthwhile—and under what conditions?
  • Scope & System
    Boundaries Clearly define what is included in the analysis (e.g., facilities, processes, utilities, building/production areas) and what is not. In energy feasibility studies, defining the system boundaries is a critical step.
  • Requirements Catalog / Framework
    Conditions​ These include functional requirements, usage requirements, technical constraints, and, where applicable, public-law feasibility (approval eligibility)—especially in the construction/building services context.

That’s why you should choose ONI

Analysis & Evaluation

Operational analysis as the basis for feasibility

  • Free initial consultation (30–45 min.): Target vision, framework conditions, available data, general scope of the study
  • Data & inventory assessment: Consumption/operational data, system overview, boundary conditions, load profiles, media (cooling/heating/water/air, etc.)​
  • On-site analysis / inspection: plausibility check, measurement points, bottlenecks, operating mode, initial quick wins.
  • Scenario workshop: Develop options (e.g., efficiency measures, integration, waste heat utilization), including evaluation (cost-benefit, risk).
  • Results Report + Decision Proposal: Management Summary, Recommendations, Roadmap – optional transition to planning/engineering/implementation with ONI support.
