Investment Grade Audit

In order for us to determine how much electricity we can save you, we need to determine how much you currently use . This enables us to calculate the potential Return on Investment (ROI) and Payback.

An Investment Grade Audit (IGA) is made up of 3 tasks:

• The location of all types of light and A/C units.
• The proposed location of all types of sensor.
• Diagnostic Sensor installation, to determine the occupancy of the areas to be controlled

Full lighting and air-conditioning count

Every light and air-conditioning unit in a building is assessed, counted and documented. Additional devices to be controlled are also audited, such as, for example, fans and heating elements. All of the consumed energy we can control is captured into our audit system.

System design

Every space we audit is also documented and the appropriate sensor for each is specified. Audited space including any special requirements such as high, concrete or sealed ceilings or any unusual wiring will be carried out by our specialists. Any additional installation materials are also noted.

Diagnostic Sensor installation

In order to conduct an Investment Grade Audit (IGA) we will install Diagnostic Sensors in selected areas throughout the building. The Diagnostic Sensors will be left in for approximately one week . Data is interpreted from the Sensors into our system and a report is generated indicating the number of hours lighting is on and a space occupied.

Costs

From the 2 reports we can accurately indicate the savings we can achieve on your electricity bill.  This fee is only payable if you decide not to go ahead. If you accept the occupancy sensor project the IGA fee is credited.

The cost of an IGA is £0.30 per m².
