Strata electrical planning · Mixed-use
Mixed commercial / residential stratas in British Columbia
Mixed-use stratas combine residential suites with ground-floor commercial units, which adds coordination and load questions a single-use building doesn’t face.
What to know
Electrical planning for mixed-use stratas
The considerations that tend to matter most for this building type. We confirm exactly what applies to your strata in the proposal.
Residential and commercial portions can carry very different loads and may be on separate services or metering arrangements.
The Electrical Planning Report has to account for both uses when modelling spare capacity and future demand.
EV-charging plans often need to balance resident parking with commercial or visitor parking.
Coordination between the strata and commercial tenants is part of getting an accurate, usable plan.
