Business and strata
Energy upgrades for your business, planned first
One enquiry. We scope the site, match the right local installers, and manage the work end to end. Lighting, HVAC, hot water, building fabric and formal energy audits.
Answers use content from this site only. Some queries are processed by an AI provider that may operate outside Australia (APP 8 disclosure).
Delivered with Austep Eco Pty Ltd. Australian teams, accredited assessors.
Built for the people who carry the energy bill
Strata and body corporate
Common area lighting, lift lobbies, car parks, pool plant and shared hot water. We work to committee timelines and produce documentation your manager can take to a meeting.
Commercial and retail
Tenancies, centres, offices and warehouses where demand charges do more damage than consumption. We look at the load shape, not just the total.
Industrial and cold chain
Refrigeration, compressed air, process loads and continuous operations. Work sequenced so your site keeps running.
What we cover
Every engagement starts the same way. We look at your site and your actual usage, then recommend only what stacks up.
Commercial solar
Rooftop and ground-mount solar sized to your daytime load, not just your roof area. We model your interval data first, so the array matches when your site actually uses power.
Energy storage
Commercial batteries for peak shaving, backup and making the most of on-site generation. Sized against your tariff and demand profile before anyone quotes hardware.
Fleet EV
Charging for fleet vehicles, staff cars and customer parking. Load management, switchboard capacity and solar integration planned as one job, not three.
Energy audits
A short efficiency audit to find the quick wins, or a full AS 3598 audit for complex sites. Data loggers, thermal imaging and thermal modelling where the site warrants it. You get a ranked list of what to do and in what order.
LED lighting
Lighting is usually the first thing worth changing and the easiest to get wrong. Design-led replacement that accounts for lux levels, occupancy and switching, not just a lamp swap.
HVAC and refrigeration
Heating, cooling and refrigeration upgrades for sites where plant is the dominant load. Sized to real demand rather than nameplate.
Hot water
Moving hot water off gas or electric resistance and onto heat pump, sized to the building's draw pattern.
Passive upgrades
Cold room seals, reflective roof coatings, insulation. Unglamorous, low cost, and often the highest return on the list.
Construction design review
An independent review of an upcoming build before it is locked in. Orientation, layout, materials, and the mechanical and electrical design. Lower cost to fix on paper than on site.
NABERS ratings
Formal building performance assessment conducted by a NABERS-accredited assessor. Useful for benchmarking, tenant appeal and asset value.
How it runs
- 01
Tell us about the site
A short form. Building type, rough floor area, what is bothering you, and who signs off.
- 02
We look at your real usage
With your authorisation we obtain your load profile and interval data directly from your retailer. This shows us when you use power, not just how much, which is what determines whether a project works.
- 03
You get a scoped recommendation
What to do, what it costs, what it returns, sequenced by payback. If something does not stack up, the report says so.
- 04
We manage delivery
Accredited teams do the work. One point of contact throughout.
