Information for administrators and co-owners

Understanding how energy audits work in the context of Argentine residential buildings — and what they produce for the people who manage them.

Context

Common area electricity is often the largest unexamined expense

In most residential buildings, common area electricity is paid as a single utility bill — without any visibility into which circuits are responsible for the cost. Administrators manage this expense without data, and assemblies approve budgets based on historical patterns rather than actual consumption analysis.

An energy audit changes this. It produces a circuit-by-circuit consumption map — and identifies where changes would have the most financial impact.

The audit does not require any interruption to building services. Measurement instruments are connected during normal operation.

For Administrators

What the audit gives you

Concrete information to present at the assembly — not a vague recommendation to "reduce consumption."

Visibility into actual consumption

Know exactly how much each circuit in the common areas costs per month — elevator, pumps, hallway lights, parking — measured, not estimated.

Investment justification for the assembly

Each recommendation comes with a payback calculation. The assembly can evaluate a proposal with actual numbers: cost, monthly savings, months to break even.

Prioritized action list

Not all replacements have the same payback speed. The report ranks recommendations so the building can start with the changes that recover their cost fastest.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

No. Measurement instruments are connected to circuits during normal building operation. There is no need to cut power or interrupt any service. Residents are not affected.
The initial visit and instrument connection typically takes one day. Instruments remain connected for a representative measurement period — usually several days to a week — to capture normal usage patterns including peak and off-peak hours.
The audit is designed for residential buildings with common area electrical infrastructure — typically buildings with elevators, water pumps, and shared lighting circuits. Building size affects the scope and duration of measurement, which we assess during the initial visit.
The building administrator or a designated representative needs to provide access to the electrical panel and common areas. No specialized technical knowledge is required from the building's side.
Yes. The audit report is delivered exclusively to the administrator or the person who commissioned the audit. It contains building-specific consumption data and is treated as confidential documentation.
