Define the decision
Explain whether you are considering extra equipment, investigating peaks or reviewing distribution capacity. Identify the relevant circuits and existing information.
Commercial building services
Understand the demand
before the decision.
Discuss load analysis when planning new plant, investigating electrical demand or considering distribution changes. Start with the question the monitoring needs to answer.
Define the work
A scope you can understand.
Agree the requirements and deliverables before the work is arranged.
Plan the assessment
Agree monitoring locations, duration, access and the operating periods that need to be represented. Determine whether specialist power-quality analysis is needed.
Use the findings properly
Review measured demand and the limitations of the assessment. Confirm what additional design checks are required before authorising a supply or plant change.
A useful record
Make the evidence
part of the agreement.
Confirm what will be provided for the service you choose.
- An agreed monitoring objective and assessment scope.
- Recorded operating periods and relevant measured findings.
- Recommendations for further design or investigation.

Discuss your requirementsBefore you enquire
A few things made clear.
Does measured demand prove spare capacity?
Not by itself. Distribution design, protection, cable capacity and other applicable checks must also be considered by a competent designer.
Will monitoring reduce our electricity bill?
It can help identify patterns for investigation. Any savings proposal needs evidence and an agreed implementation scope.
How long does monitoring take?
The duration depends on the question and operating pattern. Agree a representative assessment rather than a fixed generic timescale.
