Virtuoso Apps has put together a strategy that enables our customers to achieve their sustainability goals and objectives. Whether it’s green IT or technology based solutions that enable sustainable business practices or green engineering solutions, we are strategically positioned to enable our customers to reach and exceed their sustainability goals.
While the purview of Smart Grid is beyond Sustainability, we believe that smart grid will play a crucial role as we move towards a sustainable tomorrow. To this end, we have established ourselves as a leader by working with clients to perform a variety of services from planning to building individual components to wholesale deployments in the emerging area of Smart Grid.
As organizations look to consolidate and bring sustainability related data under one roof, they are increasingly being flooded with enormous amount of data. Manually tracking, aggregating and consolidating this data is extremely cumbersome, time consuming and prone to errors. To meet these challenges, organizations today are looking for tools that can manage, report and analyze sustainability data – giving them a complete picture of their environmental performance.
Data Centers today are responsible for approximately 2% of global Green House Gas (GHG) emissions. To add to this, the evolution of cloud based solutions and the ever increasing density of computing equipment is making it necessary for CIOs and IT managers to closely monitor and control their data center energy usage.
To address this market, we have been offering data center management services for nearly two decades. We manage, host and consolidate IT infrastructure as a part of our data center services. We provide end-to-end solutions in Green Data Center implementation and upgrade by offering assessment, design and architecture, implementation and post-implementation support services.
California Public Utilities Commission set a precedent by passing a ‘Renewable Portfolio Standard’ that requires utilities to increase procurement from renewable energy resources to 33 percent by the year 2020. Similarly, the Government of India launched a major initiative termed ‘Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission’ aiming to bring on line 20,000 megawatt of solar power by the year 2022. There is a concerted global effort to reduce dependency on fossil fuels and move towards a sustainable future.
To address these opportunity areas, we provide numerous solutions in the solar and wind energy areas. We have proven capabilities in solar panel design, manufacturing and engineering. In the Wind Energy space, we provide assembly, geometric analysis and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of wind turbines. By leveraging our Mahindra group synergies, we have developed a Solar-Wind Hybrid Solution that addresses and solves the issue of lack of reliable energy for telecom towers.
With the dramatic spike in energy costs over the last decade and the intense focus on reducing GHG emissions, Energy Efficiency has become the hot topic of board room discussions worldover. Global and region specific mandates such as the Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC) Energy Efficiency Scheme are also playing a vital role in driving the need to improve energy efficiency of organizations.
n light of this focus, a high quality Energy Audit is the first, critical step in curbing energy use and improving the energy efficiency of any facility. Energy Audit is the technique to establish the current status of energy efficiency of a System/Facility/Commercial Building. It involves the verification, monitoring and analysis of use of energy and submission of technical report containing recommendations for improving energy efficiency with cost benefit analysis and an action plan to reduce energy consumption.
