Ecotect Architects are able to provide preliminary audits of residential energy and water consumption through our Advisory Service. This service includes an initial analysis of your home to identify likely causes of excessive energy and water consumption and the identification of possible solutions to improve efficiency.

Over the years there have been many audits carried out as a preliminary service.  If the issues require more technical input, a mechanical or electrical engineer is brought along as an advisor.

With the science and engineering experience of Garry and his associate Andrew Ferguson, the team can make sure that the building design can be analysed accurately and compared with average consumption figures.

The Advisory Service is provided by one of our architects who will meet with you for up to three hours. Alternatively, an on site meeting can be arranged if this is more appropriate to your situation.

1988 to present day,  Many inspections and review of energy bills have been carried out in conjunction with our advisory service.

2009,  An audit was carried out along with Martin Anda and students from Murdoch university for the Broome St, Cottesloe retrofit.  Garry Baverstock was an advisor and supervisor of the students and help translate the report into an action list for construction and design decisions.

An initial walk through may be only the cost of a standard E-A advisory fee.  If further work is needed then the costs of the service and time frame involved will be reported as part of the initial investigation.

• Architect $150.00 per hour
