The document provides an overview of a guide for leaders overseeing renewable energy or water reclamation projects. It discusses establishing strategic goals and metrics before beginning projects. It recommends starting small and building incrementally based on lessons learned. This allows controlling costs and ensuring critical factors are addressed. A modular approach is suggested to break projects into manageable components that can be delivered quickly and improved upon efficiently.

Making Renewable Utilities Profitable
Are you a leader? Have you been charged with overseeing a renewable energy or water
reclamation project? Are you overwhelmed by the responsibility? Are you concerned that your
project may not deliver the results you are expecting? Are you concerned the budget might spiral
out of control?
FEAR NOT!
The good news is there are only a few things you need to know to be successful!
Chapter 1: Getting Things Done
In this chapter we will look at:
• Begin with the End in Mind – know where you are going before you start
• Control Critical Success Factors – Be sure you get where you are going
• Build on Incremental Lessons Learned – No one runs before they walk
• Get Things Done – In a consistent and cost effective way
Once you have gotten things done,
repeat, gain confidence and improve!
Begin with the End in Mind
Four steps to building a successful Renewable Program:
1. Establish strategic environmental outcomes

2. Identify critical success factors
3. Identify the individual goals and priorities
4. Establish definable metrics for each incremental outcome
5. Establish an incremental timeline to get results quickly!
Build on incremental lessons learned
As will be discussed in Chapter 2 “Doing Your Homework”, you don’t need to make a huge
investment to build on lessons learned. You don’t need to invest in feasibility studies that lead to
more studies. The problem with feasibility studies is they focus on fleshing out the unknowns
and generating a list of options for the client to assess the various costs, benefits and risks, which
often create more questions than the answer. However, if the client has not done their homework
(Chapter 2), they will be ill prepared to provide the critical leadership that is absolutely required
to ensure a successful project. As a result, projects can spiral out of control.
What successful businesses have figured out is they can leverage the experience and lessons
learned from others, and better define their goals, objectives and outcomes and proven
requirements that will give them a jump start, and allow them to be more successful.
What they have learned is to:
1. Identify lessons learned from your and other people’s projects
o What went well
o What could be improved
o What to do differently
2. Build on successes, and repeat
3. Improve results with each step
4. Build confidence and accelerate positive change!
Control Critical Success Factors
A critical success factor is that part of your project that is necessary for the project to achieve its
mission.
By starting small, and incrementally delivering results you can assure your stakeholders that you
will achieve your mission.
The simplest way to control critical success factors is to break those parts of a project down into
components that can be managed more effectively and delivered in a shorter time frame. A
modular approach is a proven method of breaking a project down into manageable components.
It also ensures startup problems and ongoing operational challenges become more manageable
and can be remedied as they occur with minimal costs and time. This in turn will accelerate a
community's progress to meaningful positive climate change.
Additionally, a modular approach allows you to control your critical success factors including:
• Financial models that match investment to cash flow;

• Deployment of modules as the development grows or retrofit expands;
• Redeployment of modules if demand drops or new technologies evolve;
• Get results, quickly and cost effectively.
Build on Incremental Lessons Learned
There is no magic to accelerating change towards strategic environmental goals. Just like there
is no magic to the making of an athlete. Accelerating change is simply a discipline, replicating
lessons learned, building on successes, and repeating. What you will find as you build on each
environmental cornerstone is that incremental outcomes build on each other, and become easier
with each replication, just like each rep an athlete does in their training. This in turn will drive
the inspiration and confidence to embrace and accelerate change even further, so that you can
deliver on your strategic outcomes.
These environmental cornerstones outline the steps from your homework to a successful project,
and documenting the lessons learned so that you can repeat your successes and improve and
expand the benefit into your development or community.
Get Things Done
By following the above steps you create cornerstones for sustainable change that enable you to
replicate successes simply, measurably and cost effectively. Unlike large centralized facilities, if
done properly these cornerstones can be realized through the deployment of modular systems,
allowing for the rapid measurement and manageable adjustments. This will go a long way to
securing stakeholder confidence and keeping your staff on track and consultants and contractors
on point.

Chapter Summary
• Chapter 1: Getting Things Done – Know where you are going and why
• Chapter 2: Do Your Homework – Gets you 96% of the way to a successful project
• Chapter 3: Know Where to Start – Once your homework is done – then what?
• Chapter 4: Keeping Things Small Enough – The key to Getting Things Done!
TITUS Turnkey Integrated Resource Management (TIRM) Platform
TITUS has developed a Turnkey Integrated Resource Management (TIRM) Platform for its
clients. The TITUS TIRM Platform provides its clients with modular, integrated, renewable
utility services that are simple, fast and cost effective for our clients to deploy.
TITUS has found that the more you modularize infrastructure the more you are able to repurpose
and reuse or resell the resources that were otherwise wasted. Once you give waste a purpose,
you create value and reduce cost. These two drivers can make renewable infrastructure more
cost effective than conventional infrastructure. This allows TITUS to recover, repurpose and
resell resources that were otherwise wasted within a community, accelerating the payback on
renewable utilities, making them more profitable sooner than conventional utilities.
Thirdly, a modular approach allows you to control:
• Financial models that match investment to cash flow;
• Deployment of modules as the development grows or retrofit expands;
• Redeployment of modules if demand drops or new technologies evolve;
• Getting results, quickly and cost effectively
