Industry Guide - Building with BESS 

Soaring costs, higher interest rates and material and labour shortages are all factors threatening expected activity levels in the construction sector. While this can be deemed a macrolevel problem, it still hampers the construction supply chain due to the complex nature and individuality of each project. From hiring equipment on a budget, to keeping projects to schedule, it’s safe to say the current climate is not an easy one for construction managers to operate in.

As if these competing factors weren’t enough for the sector to juggle, sustainability also impacts almost every aspect of new projects. Construction managers and their operations are now subject to more scrutiny when it comes to levels of carbon emissions. and noise levels are also a huge consideration for those operating in urban areas.

Integrating BESS into on-site energy mixes alongside other solutions – for example, Stage V generators running on Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) – can offer construction decision makers a clear pathway to energy-efficient emission reduction. In this guide, we intend to demonstrate how BESS can be implemented across a myriad of applications, dispel myths, and to provide guidance to those in construction who are yet to embark on their BESS journey.
