Residents and the committee
Visits are arranged through the secretary, and the committee sees the room, the route and the sound at the door during the assessment.
For building owners Housing society
Every flat pays for load the society never draws.
The common connection is sanctioned for every lift, pump and corridor light at once, and drawn at a fraction of that. A spare ground-floor room may support an installation. An assessment and the society's agreement determine suitability, responsibilities and payment.
For housing societies
The common bill has a fixed charge nobody voted for.
The society's connection was sized for lifts, pumps, the club house and the corridor lights all at once. The draw is a fraction of it, the fixed charges cover the whole figure, and they are split across the maintenance bills every month. Meanwhile a ground-floor room the builder handed over has been a store for old furniture since possession.
Where the room usually is
A ground-floor room the builder handed over and nobody fitted out, the gym that never opened, a store off the club house, or a room beside the meter room that holds old furniture. It has to be common property on the common connection, and the society's general body has to agree to license it.
What the load does
The common connection is sanctioned for every lift, every pump, the club house and the corridor lights running together, and drawn at a fraction of that on any ordinary evening. The spare is the sanctioned figure on the common bill minus the twelve-month peak, and the assessment reads the bills with the secretary and the society's electrician. Individual flats' connections are not part of the assessment.
The assessment confirms the supply, tie-in and cooling an installation needs, and what your room can support.
Eligibility
Questions to answer first.
What decides whether a room in a housing society can be assessed for an installation, and what the assessment then checks on site.
Before the assessment
Is the room common property on the common connection?
Only common property on the society's own connection is a starting point. Flats' connections are not.
Will the general body take it up?
The managing committee takes a proposal to the general body, and the society signs only after its resolution.
Is the room away from the nearest flat and from play areas?
Distance, the sound at the door and access are checked in the room with the committee.
What the assessment checks
- The common connection's metering point and sanctioned figure, read against twelve months of common bills
- Panel headroom in the common LT panel for the tie-in an installation needs, and the run to the room
- Cooling on the room, sized for the installation, since a store with no unit cannot reject the heat
- Fire NOC currency for the building
- The door, the neighbours and the sound at the door: a room that locks, away from the nearest flat, checked with the committee standing in it
The general guide to the initial requirements is on the owners page.
Operating considerations
Running an installation in a housing society.
Safety near homes
Safety for the installation and the room is assessed for the site. The trust page sets out Azita's approach to safety in buildings.
The trust pageA decision the society can revisit
What happens if the society changes its mind, including notice and removal, is set out in the agreement the general body is asked to approve.

Hosting model
Explore the hosting model.
The same illustration as on the owners page, opened at typical inputs for a housing society. Its assumptions sit beside the result; the assessment and your agreement establish the actual terms.
Open the hosting model example
Indicative pods from your room and power inputs
1
1 × 10 kW pods, 14.4 kW at the meter of your 20 kW
Counted from your room count and available power only. Room size and cooling are context for the assessment; they do not confirm that equipment fits.
- Base payment assumed in this example
- ₹4.87 La year, ₹40,583 a month
- Additional payment at the modelled duty Modelled, not yet measured
- ₹7.2 La year, ₹60,000 a month
- Total in this example
- ₹12.07 La year, ₹1.01 L a month
- Without building cooling the assessment checks whether one 5 TR room unit per pod can be fitted. The estimate stands only if it can.
Assumptions in this example
- Base payment: ₹4.87 L per pod per year.
- Additional payment: ₹7.2 L per pod per year at the modelled duty, capped at ₹15 L to ₹18 L per pod per year.
- One pod per room that locks, and about 14.4 kW of spare sanctioned load per pod at the meter.
- Electricity is not in these figures. How it is metered and settled is confirmed in your agreement.
- Model version: host-yield-v1.
- An illustration of the hosting model, not a site approval or a promised payment.
Illustrative model, not a site-specific offer or measured earnings. It applies to hosting for others; an installation for your own work needs its own proposal.
Questions housing societies ask.
Who decides, and who signs?
The society. The managing committee takes it to the general body, and the society signs after the resolution. The assessment sets out what the agreement needs from the society.
Will residents hear it?
It sits in a locked room and gives its heat to the room's cooling. Whether the sound at the door is acceptable is checked in the room, with the committee standing there, before anything is signed.
Is it safe next to where children play?
The room is chosen away from play areas, and it locks. Safety for the installation is assessed for the site, and the trust page sets out Azita's approach to safety in buildings.
The trust pageDoes it affect the flats' own electricity?
The assessment looks only at the society's common connection. How the installation's electricity is metered and settled is confirmed in the society's agreement.
Property assessment
Start with your society.
The form starts with “Housing society” as the building type, and you can change it. A location and a short description are enough to start.
