Energy audit and performance assessment
Baseline review, analysis of bills and uses, technical visit, consumption balance and energy-performance assessment.
← Back to the four divisions
Energy division
Energy performance & efficiency
TOPDEC analyses how buildings actually operate, identifies avoidable consumption and turns findings into prioritised actions. Our studies combine the building envelope, systems, uses, costs and renewable-energy potential.
Our services
Understand, reduce and manage energy use
Each assignment is designed around the building, its uses and the data genuinely available.
Measurement and data analysis
Data collection and structuring, spot measurements, consumption profiles and analysis of gaps between expected and actual operation.
Building envelope
Analysis of walls, glazing, solar protection, air leakage and thermal bridges to identify potential demand reductions.
HVAC, lighting and equipment
Study of heating, cooling, ventilation, hot water, lighting and auxiliaries, including improved settings and more efficient solutions.
Renewable energy
Pre-assessment of solar potential and energy-efficient solutions aligned with consumption profiles and site constraints.
Action plan and training
Prioritisation of actions, estimated savings and investments, team support, and training for assessors or auditors.
