Metered audit across IT load, cooling and distribution, per site.
Capabilities ยท Sustainable Energy Engineering
Reduce the draw before anyone specifies new capacity.
Energy audits and green power optimisation for operations carrying heavy infrastructure loads. We profile what the estate actually consumes, then cut it, and only then discuss what to buy.

What this actually means
Energy is now large enough to change which architecture wins.
- Metering
- Consumption measured across IT load, cooling and distribution, per site, rather than inferred from equipment ratings.
- Profiling
- The shape of the draw across a full cycle, because the floor overnight usually says more than the peak does.
- Thermal
- Cooling headroom and airflow assessed before anything else is specified into a constrained room.
- Losses
- Conversion and distribution overhead quantified, which is where a surprising share of the bill quietly sits.
- Reduction
- Idle and zombie equipment identified and removed first, since that capacity costs money and returns nothing.
- Case
- An efficiency position documented well enough to support a budget submission or a board decision.
The instrument
The draw over a day, before and after
Most of what an optimisation pass removes is not peak load. It is the floor: equipment drawing power around the clock while doing nothing.
Site draw across 24 hours, illustrativeMeasured, not modelled
Before: idle equipment holds the floor high all night
After: the floor drops, the peak barely moves

Before buyingReduce, then specify
Where it sits in an engagement
Runs alongside all four, and belongs in stage two
Energy is usually assessed separately by facilities on a different cycle. Bringing it into the architecture is the whole point, because otherwise the resilience decision gets made without the power consequence.
Efficiency priced into the target architecture rather than assessed after it.
Reductions implemented alongside the infrastructure work, not as a later programme.
Consumption tracked so the efficiency position holds instead of drifting back.
Signals you need this
These usually mean the floor is higher than anyone thinks
Nobody can say what the estate draws overnight, only what it is rated for.
Cooling was sized for a load profile that has since changed substantially.
Equipment is powered and racked but no longer carrying any workload.
Power sits with facilities and infrastructure sits with technology, on different budgets.
A capacity expansion is being planned without a measurement of current efficiency.
The efficiency case is needed to unlock funding for the wider programme.

We do not quote a saving before we have measured one. That is the entire difference.
