Consultancy – Initially this is achieved by
with some basic calculations from information you
provide though more detailed and accurate analysis
requires one or more levels of
energy audit in accordance with AS/NZS
3598:2000 Energy assessment will determine your
energy consumption quantities and costs while
highlighting efficiency levels and areas that can
be targeted for savings.
Researching & implementing an energy management
plan can seem somewhat overwhelming initially but
once you establish an understanding of the process
and the costing you will find its time & money
well spent. The worst thing you can do is to do
nothing!! Allowing your business to fall behind,
to suffer inevitable increases in power costs and
even be branded as environmentally unfriendly
Design – Load monitoring, carbon blueprints
or simply put energy consumption & emissions are
the factors we need to ascertain in the design
process. At the same time using a systems approach
we’re building an understanding of how our
consumption (and subsequent emissions) are being
used (and produced). Depending on your
installation/premises, design can encompass
anything from retrofitting more efficient lamps to
the installation of variable speed drives (VSD’s)
on your heating & cooling (HVAC) arrangements.
Poor control, excess usage & inefficiency are all
major contributors to your power consumption
With each solution tailored to meet your
organizations budgetary & environmental
requirements you can rest assured with a good
working knowledge of how your energy plan is
working for you, your business, home and the
environment
Implementation – While minimising
environmental impact is of great value and
importance so to is our approach. This needs to be
measured & achieved in context of budgetary
considerations establishing a base from which
future energy savings and potential can be seen
and achieved. To put your energy management plan
into practice don’t just call any electrician,
call a specialist

What type of solution might be
recommended?
Following an audit there are a range of different
recommendations that may be beneficial in meeting
your energy management goals, for example:
- Retrofitting lamps and/or light fittings of
more efficient types
- Installation of automation & auto-sensing
devices
- Educational/awareness seminars for employees
- Reductions in lighting levels
- Installation of photovoltaic (solar) grid
connected systems
- Programmed maintenance strategies
- Functional and operational changes to HVAC
systems
- More efficient use & selection processes for
appliances
- Power factor correction & harmonic
rectification
- Phase balancing
What other types of services
might apply to me?
Using
Electricity subjects you & your business to
many potential hazards. Scheduled or programmed
maintenance can identify potential disasters.
- Thermographic imaging, sometimes
called FLIR (Forward Looking InfraRed) offers a
non-invasive, preventative maintenance strategy
that identifies (potentially dangerous) "hot
spots" in electrical connections and
manufacturing processes while equipment is still
operational. The value of this service speaks
for itself if you consider the losses in
production from an unscheduled electrical fault
(or disaster). This service provides you with
results and recommendations.
- Power Factor Correction
Power factor is a measure of how effectively
your electricity is used. You can effectively
reduce the load on your electrical distribution
infrastructure/system by optimising your power
factor
- OH&S
Electrical safety audits, periodic testing &
tagging of equipment
