When this service helps
EV chargers, heat pumps, and electric cooking can change a building's electrical demand and distribution needs. Planning these improvements together helps an owner compare phased investment with a larger upgrade. The first question is how the proposed equipment connects to the building's existing capacity and operating patterns.
What the engineering scope addresses
Electrical engineering can include feasibility studies, load calculations, distribution design, charger infrastructure, and evaluation of load-management options. For heat-pump projects, electrical requirements are coordinated with the mechanical team's equipment selections. The scope can also identify pathways for later expansion so today's work fits the owner's longer-term building plan.
Planning the next step
Electrification can support a broader energy and emissions strategy, but the electrical design alone does not establish compliance with Local Law 97. Building performance, equipment efficiency, operations, and the applicable reporting requirements involve the owner's wider project team. We provide electrical capacity and infrastructure information that helps that team compare realistic options.
Potential deliverables
- Feasibility, load-management, and capacity studies
- Charger distribution and electrical infrastructure design
- Electrical planning to support broader Local Law 97 strategies
The proposal confirms the exact deliverables and any site visits, follow-up review, filing support, or construction services included.
What to prepare
- Proposed charger quantities and parking layouts
- Mechanical equipment selections and electrical ratings
- Existing electrical drawings and demand information
- Owner phasing, expansion, and operating preferences
