What size projects do you work on?

We work with commercial and industrial operations where energy infrastructure decisions have a real financial impact. That could be a single-site solar installation for a warehouse, EV charging across a multi-site portfolio, or a metering upgrade for an embedded network. The common thread is that the project needs proper scoping and management, not just a quick quote.

Do you handle network approvals and compliance?

Yes. Network connection applications, metering changes, and compliance requirements are all part of the process. These are often the parts that stall a project if they’re not managed properly, so we build them into the timeline from the start.

How does this connect to your other services?

Infrastructure projects often come out of an energy audit, where we’ve identified specific opportunities. And once a project is complete, our procurement service can help make sure your energy contract reflects your new usage profile. The three pillars are designed to work together, but you can engage with any one of them independently.

What is an energy audit?

An energy audit is a structured assessment of how your site uses energy across equipment, systems, and operations. It identifies where energy is being wasted, quantifies the cost of that waste, and provides prioritised recommendations for improvement. Our audits are conducted in accordance with the Australian and New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 3598:2014.

What’s the difference between a Type 1, 2, and 3 audit?

A Type 1 is a high-level overview, best for first-time audits or scoping. A Type 2 is a comprehensive site-wide analysis with detailed financial modelling, suitable for justifying medium-scale investment. A Type 3 is a deep dive into a specific subsystem (like HVAC or compressed air) with onsite monitoring for maximum accuracy. We’ll help you determine which type fits your situation during scoping.

How long does an energy audit take?

It depends on the audit type and the complexity of your site. A Type 1 overview typically involves one day onsite and one to two days of analysis. A Type 2 detailed audit requires one to five days onsite depending on the size and scope, plus up to a week for data analysis and reporting. A Type 3 subsystem audit varies depending on the system being assessed and the monitoring period required. We’ll confirm timeframes during scoping.

What kind of businesses benefit most from an audit?

If energy is a significant operational cost for your business, then an energy audit will provide great benefit. We work primarily with commercial, industrial, strata, embedded network, aged care, agricultural, and hospitality operations. Sites where usage is complex enough that efficiency gains aren’t obvious without a structured assessment.

Will the audit tell me exactly how much I’ll save?

The audit provides estimated savings based on your actual usage data and site conditions, not generic benchmarks. The accuracy depends on the audit type: a Type 1 uses rules of thumb and indicative figures, while a Type 2 or 3 provides more detailed cost-benefit analysis. In all cases, you’ll receive enough information to make informed decisions about where to invest.

Do I need to prepare anything before the audit?

We’ll need access to at least 12 months of energy billing data and safe access to the site for the onsite assessment. Beyond that, it helps to have any existing equipment schedules, BMS data, or maintenance records available. We’ll guide you through what’s needed during scoping. The less legwork for you, the better.

What happens after the audit?

You’ll receive a clear report with prioritised, costed recommendations and a practical roadmap. From there, we can support implementation through our other services, whether that’s procurement support for a better energy contract, infrastructure advisory for solar or EV charging, or ongoing energy support to keep tracking your performance over time.
