The architect’s task.
Map duty cycles, servicing and utility interfaces; compare shared, staged and dedicated provisions.
R9 · Energy and service infrastructure
Energy and service infrastructure.
What energy and servicing does the actual service need?
Research release BTC-RESEARCH-2026-10-17.1 · Prepared 17 October 2026 · Project applicability unresolved
Proposed decision guidance for architects and the customers who commission their projects. Site experiments remain unexecuted.
All twelve decisions ↗The commissioning customer’s responsibility.
Obtain utility and service evidence, keeping power, energy, travel and embodied works separate.
RESEARCH FINDING
What the evidence supports.
Models examine duty cycles, resources and vehicle lifecycle effects. Local energy, simultaneous power demand and utility capacity remain unestablished.
The connection from a study to this decision is an analyst interpretation. Study conditions, methods, funding and limitations are available in the approved research library.

COUNTEREVIDENCE & DISCONFIRMATION
What could change the decision.
The proposed asset is not needed for the same service or fails whole-life/resource comparison against an available alternative.
This is a contrary case to test. The linked claim cards distinguish observed contrary findings from proposed project tests.
REMAINING QUESTIONS
What the project still needs to establish.
- Actual duty cycles and metered energy; coincident power and utility capacity; funding scope; adopted electrical and fire requirements.
Before making the commitment
Actual duty-cycle windows, metered energy, coincident power, maintenance and feasible operating alternatives.
