Energy and Cost Visibility
Understand electricity, fuel and other energy sources, their cost and how they support facility operations.
Energy Advisory and Audits
Understand Where Energy Goes. Decide What to Improve.
Dreamit helps facility owners and management teams understand energy use, operating cost and system performance through structured analysis, appropriate measurement and practical engineering recommendations.
Better Energy Decisions Start With Evidence
An Energy Audit Should Answer the Questions Management Needs to Act On.
Energy expenditure is shaped by utility supply, generator operation, equipment condition, operating schedules, occupancy and staff practices. An effective audit brings these factors together so management can understand current performance and decide what deserves attention.
Load and Demand
Identify where demand is created, when major loads operate and how operating patterns affect energy use.
System Performance
Examine the condition, controls and operation of significant energy using systems.
Investment Priorities
Translate findings into practical operating, maintenance and capital improvement options.
ISO 50002 Energy Audit Levels
The Level of Analysis Should Match the Decision to Be Made.
Dreamit structures energy audits around ISO 50002. The appropriate audit level is agreed from the facility objectives, available information, complexity and level of investment decision required.
Level 1: Walk through audit
A structured preliminary review of available records, facility operations and visible energy performance concerns. It helps establish the current situation and identify areas requiring further attention.
Level 2: Detailed survey and analysis
A more detailed assessment supported by energy records, site survey, operating information and appropriate measurements. It develops quantified findings and practical energy performance improvement actions.
Level 3: Comprehensive engineering analysis
A comprehensive assessment for complex systems or major investment decisions. It may include extended measurement, detailed engineering analysis, technical evaluation and more developed financial assessment.
What We Examine
Energy Performance Across the Facility.
Energy Supply and Cost
Utility electricity, generator fuel, renewable generation, tariffs, billing records and source coordination.
Load and Demand
Major loads, operating schedules, demand patterns, occupancy influences and avoidable simultaneous operation.
Cooling, Lighting and Building Services
Cooling and ventilation, lighting, water heating, pumping, controls and other significant building systems.
Electrical and Generator Performance
Distribution condition, loading, power quality, generator operation, changeover arrangements and electrical losses affecting energy performance.
Solar, Battery and Hybrid Systems
Existing solar system performance analysis, energy production, battery and inverter behaviour, load interaction, operating settings and improvement priorities.
Operations and Energy Practices
Controls, maintenance practices, staff routines, shutdown procedures and management responsibilities affecting energy use.
Measurement Led Assessment
Measured Evidence Before Recommendations
Where the agreed scope requires it, temporary energy logging helps establish how electrical demand changes across operating periods. The recorded information is considered alongside utility records, generator operation, equipment condition and facility schedules before priorities are developed.
- Load profile and peak demand
- Voltage, current, power factor and phase balance
- Operating patterns that require further investigation
Measurements depend on the agreed audit scope, facility conditions and the instruments required for the assessment.
Our Audit Approach
From the Facility Question to a Practical Action Plan.
-
01
Define the Objective
Clarify the management concern, facility boundaries, required decisions and intended audit outcome.
-
02
Establish the Scope
Agree the audit level, systems to be examined, available records, measurement requirements, responsibilities and programme.
-
03
Collect and Review Information
Review energy bills, fuel records, equipment information, operating schedules, occupancy information and previous assessments.
-
04
Survey and Measure
Inspect agreed systems, speak with facility personnel and collect measurements appropriate to the audit level and objectives.
-
05
Analyse and Prioritise
Develop the energy picture, identify performance gaps and evaluate operational, maintenance and investment options.
-
06
Report and Support Action
Present clear findings, evidence, priorities and practical next steps for management consideration.
Management Outputs
A Report Built for Decisions, Not Just Documentation.
Recommendations depend on the agreed audit level, available information, facility access and measurement scope. Dreamit does not publish fixed savings promises before the facility has been assessed.
- Energy source and cost analysis
- Load and demand assessment
- Significant energy use review
- System condition and performance findings
- Identified energy performance improvement actions
- Prioritised operating and maintenance actions
- Capital improvement options where appropriate
- Indicative financial evaluation where sufficient information exists
- Measurement and verification recommendations where required
When to Engage Dreamit
Bring Us In When Energy Performance Is Affecting an Important Facility Decision.
- Energy or generator fuel expenditure is difficult to explain
- Management needs clearer visibility across departments, buildings or branches
- Equipment replacement or expansion is being considered
- Generator, grid, solar and battery systems are not working effectively together
- An existing solar system appears to be underperforming
- Operating practices may be increasing demand or cost
- Management needs an evidence based improvement plan
Audit Framework
Structured Around ISO 50002
ISO 50002 Part 1 provides the general requirements and guidance for energy audits. For buildings, ISO 50002 Part 2 provides additional guidance addressing building systems, operational characteristics and onsite energy generation. Dreamit applies the relevant requirements according to the agreed facility scope and audit level.
