1 Introducing Energi Pod Specialist Renewable Energy Installation for your Poultry Farm In partnership with

2 Energi Pod Harness the natural energy you already have on your poultry farm Alt-Energi are experts in installation and maintenance of Ground Source Heat Pumps and Solar PV Systems. This proven technology qualifies for the Government s Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme, providing an excellent return on investment. With Renewable Energy generated by Ground Source Heat Pumps and/or Solar PV Systems, it is possible to generate up to four times the heat output for every unit of electricity input. The highly efficient Energi Pod can help dramatically reduce your energy bills and will enable your poultry farm to benefit from reduced carbon emissions. This advanced Heat Pump and Solar PV technology has become a highly viable option for large scale commercial applications. Poultry Farms require both heating and cooling. Renewable energy technologies are ideal to meet this need because the low-grade heat generated is more constant and so reduces the complications caused by more volatile heat sources, such as condensation caused by unstable moisture levels. The environment for the chickens is better all round, and this leads to increased productivity. A revolution is taking place in how we source energy, let the Energi Pod demonstrate how you can keep pace with these fundamental changes and in doing so, set new standards in welfare, productivity and sustainability. 2

3 Energi Pod Control efficiently your heating, cooling and ventilation. Heating Through refrigeration and solar technology, the Energi Pod will collect, store and distribute heat when and where needed. This can be monitored remotely via our own software. Ammonia and Dust reduction The Eco Unit, our bespoke ventilation unit, can provide upto 40% reduction in Ammonia and dust emissions. Combined with our own advanced ventilation system, we will plan and configure the optimum solution for your poultry farm. Cooling Cooling technology is just as important as heating in order to maximise productivity by keeping your chickens comfortable. The Energi Pod has three main methods for providing energy for cooling; Passive Cooling this is when heat is naturally returned to the ground via the heat pump. Active Cooling where the heat pump compressor is reversed and cool water is sent into under floor loop, rather than warm. Cooling the floor also reduces micro bacterial growth within the litter, which in turn improves hygiene. Ventilation Cooling Our bespoke ventilation systems can reduce temperatures very effectively. 3

4 The Energi Pod at work This info graphic shows the main elements of a renewable energy on a poultry farm. Energi Pod The central point of control for all your renewable energy. Ground Source A 20 acre field, set aside for pasture or free ranging of chickens can be used for the ground source collector. The Eco Unit The Eco Unit design allows you to fully control the climate in your poultry house in all weather conditions with an optimal use of energy. 4

5 Carefully planned access roads are built for operator access and to maintain optimum hygiene for livestock. Solar Array We identify an optimum area of your estate, where solar power generation is most suited. 5

6 The Alt-Energi Process 1 We meet up, listen to your requirements, your aims and your objectives. After an informal survey of your site, we will discuss the possible options available to you. 2 We present our proposal to you, discuss all aspects and answer your questions. When everything is agreed, down to the detail you require, contracts are signed. 3 Work commences on all aspects of your installation; Planning, Finance as well as liaison with Government organisations such as Ofgem. 4 Installation of your Energi Pod begins. We liaise with you every step of the way, making sure everything goes to schedule and budget. Finally, we test everything. 5 Everything is up and running. Our service and maintenance team will on hand to help. Your new renewable energy system will be remotely monitored and performance monitored. 106
