How to Conduct An Energy and Building Assessment Before Installing EV Chargers
Conducting an energy and building assessment is crucial before installing EV chargers to ensure that the building's electrical system can handle the increased load. It's important to hire professionals to assess the current electricity consumption, historical peak energy loads, maximum capacity of the building, and to find possible locations for additional distribution boards. Energy efficiency should also be considered, along with load control and the optimal routes for running cables to connect to the charging supply equipment. Solar panels and battery storage options can also be accounted for during the assessment, which can increase capacity and decrease the cost of running an EV charger. Overall, conducting an energy and building assessment before installing EV chargers can make the process smoother, faster, and ensure that the building can handle the increased load.
