Balance shared services, tenant demand and business hours when planning dependable power.
Separate shared and tenant loads
Group lifts, pumps, common lighting, access systems and shop equipment. Decide which circuits need backup and which can remain off during an outage.
Understand the busy periods
Footfall, air-conditioning demand and trading hours influence the load profile. Solar output and customer demand may overlap, but shade, roof space and seasonal use still need assessment.
Make responsibilities clear
Confirm who owns the equipment, authorizes shutdowns, maintains the system and records handover. Discuss noise, exhaust, delivery access and transfer arrangements before finalizing the installation.
What to include in your enquiry
- Common-area and tenant load schedules
- Trading hours and cooling demand
- Roof permissions and equipment location
- Access, noise and maintenance requirements
