What Energy Auditing Can Reveal About a Property
An introduction to energy auditing and how it can support better operational decisions.
Field note · Felivaru, December 2024
The audit is the starting point
Before recommending upgrades, new equipment, or solar, you need to know how a property actually uses energy. That is what an energy audit provides: an assessment of electrical systems, equipment, energy use, and opportunities for improvement.
In December 2024, SQ Depot carried out on-site energy-auditing work at Felivaru, assessing the existing electrical and energy conditions of the site.
What an audit covers
- Electrical systems: how power is distributed, protected, and metered through the building.
- Equipment: which loads are significant, when they run, and whether they are running efficiently.
- Energy use: consumption patterns over time and where demand peaks.
- Opportunities: practical changes — from controls and scheduling to equipment replacement and renewable generation.
What comes out of it
A good audit does not just list problems. It gives a property owner a clear picture of where money and energy go, ranked opportunities, and the information needed to make confident decisions about the next investment.
Audits are especially useful before a solar installation: the system size should match real consumption, not an estimate.
