Earth By Design has developed feasibility studies for all areas of renewable energy, environmental clean-up (such as mining reclamation and animal mortality management), resource optimization (such as storage reservoirs), and many other areas. Each study is unique and different. Initially, we offer our services in helping identify whether or not a project is "feasible". To do this, we use an investigative approach:

• The Problem To Be Solved
• Are there sufficient resources to solve the problem? (land, space, renewable resources, etc.)
• What are the financial limitations? (cost, return on investment, etc.)
• What technology will this involve? (turbines, pumps, civil insfrastructure
• What potential stakeholders or permissions will this involve? (ie. licenses, permits, regulatory oversight, etc.?)
• Make Initial Recommendations: Based on the results - we provide a base-level detailed report that identifies potential, matches it to your needs.

By taking this extra step in advance, we help save you time and money. Once pre-feasibility is determined, we can take the next steps in engaging in a formal agreement to produce a full-scale feasibility study. This is no small task. Whether it is for the private sector or public agencies, we put our full effort into every studyr:

• A Full Feasibility Study
• Evaluating site potential: Energy projects receive a 10+ year historical resource evaluation of all flows (hydro), wind, sunshine (solar), and a complete weather analysis for the region. Included with this, and for environmental projects, is a complete geological evaluation of the site, ground topology studies, soil samples, and more. The resources are evaluated for raw potential, needs for management (or clean-up), and provide the basis for the remainder of the study.
• Solving the problem: Evaluating the potential location and infrastructure: This step involves our engineering associates who perform detailed civil infrastructure, and where applicable, equipment performance. The resources previously evaluated are then funneled through this step. For renewable energy, this means that power potential is "re-evaluated" based on the applicable technology and construction limitations available. For environmental clean-up, restoration, or other related project, we evaluate the civil infrastructure needed to solve the problem, evaluate multiple solutions, and determine very long-term projections for the positive, environmental results.
• Interconnection: Whether it is generating power, or accessing power for a project, many times, interconnection is involved. Our engineers work directly with the utilities to identify preliminary paths toward successful interconnection and identify the opportunities that are available both physically and monetarily. By pre-identifying cost-saving solutions and points of interconnection, the amount of time and energy can be streamlined during interconnection studies.
• Regulatory and Ecology: Every location in the world where construction or work takes place has an impact on the environment. We place extreme importance on the protection of animal species, cultural artifacts, land ownership, and site control. By contacting the regulatory agencies and working through the process, not only can we provide forms and documents, completed and ready to go (to streamline the process and reduce your overall costs), but we help establish those initial relationships with stakeholders that will make the process run more smoothly.
• Cost: This is always a big component of analysis for clients. In every step of the process, we evaluate and re-evaluate costs. Once we've worked through the entire process, we re-evaluate it once more. We look for cost savings opportunities. Additionally, we try to identify grants, funding portals, and opportunities to help finance a project.
• Final Presentation: The final report is a multi-copy (both hard copy and electronic versions are provided), with detailed results, source documentation, and a comprehensive analysis and proposal to move forward. But, we don't stop there. As EBD is an Engineering, Procurement, and Construction company, we can offer immediate strategies to help take your project to the next level and get everything completed, turnkey! Whether a full-scale feasibility for renewable energy, environmental stabilization, or even small studies for communications (power, impact, and other components), Earth By Design has a package that can be catered to your needs.

Earth By Design offers investment opportunities in a variety of areas:

• Energy: For cash and tax equity partners, our projects have been vetted for being financially profitable. Whether it's short term investments that also benefit from tax incentives or long-term investments with higher rates of return, we can provide a solution to fit your needs. If you are interested in working with us, we currently have projects in the pre-development phase in solar and wind energy, with secured land rights and feasibility already complete.
• For agencies and businesses looking for solutions at their own locations, we offer feasibility and systems analysis to determine the immediate need to be solved and strategize on solutions. Whether it is providing additional, redundant power for data centers, emergency management and shelters with renewable energy, we have a very skilled staff to meet each challenge.
• As part of our global environmental impact reduction strategy, we also support agriculture and food stabilization. Our company has opportunities for investments into beef and water, meeting or exceeding the needs and demands of world-wide regulations (such as the recent beef-export opportunity with China). If this is an area of interest to you, then please contact us and we can look at the available options.
