FAQ
What is the point of being global and integrated?
Being able to cover all your needs with our own teams ensures the consistency of the solution provided and guarantees our responsibility for all our actions.
What is the Energy Centre?
It is an operational centre accessible 24/7 with a team of energy specialists and technicians who take turns to provide support and management for your property portfolio.
What does sustainable savings mean?
It's a fundamental concept. Producing sustainable energy savings requires the ability to continuously manage a building's energy-consuming equipment, which is why we have chosen to be a 360° GreenTech.
What is the tertiary sector decree?
The Tertiary Sector Decree, which came into force in October 2019, specifies the procedures for applying the ELAN law on the objectives of reducing the energy consumption of French tertiary sector buildings.
What is the BACS Decree?
The BACS Decree, or Decree on Technical Building Management, is a regulation that aims to improve the energy efficiency of buildings. It imposes requirements and standards for the technical management of building energy installations and systems, with the aim of reducing their energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
What is the impact of the BACS Decree on your building?
The BACS decree has a significant impact on the energy management of your building. It requires you to set up control and monitoring systems to measure and optimise energy consumption. This can include monitoring equipment, managing temperatures, lighting, ventilation, and other parameters that affect the building's energy performance.
How can you meet the requirements of the BACS decree with a suitable solution?
To meet the requirements of the BACS Decree, it is essential that you have a suitable building management system (BMS). A BMS allows you to centralise and automate the control of energy systems, thus facilitating data collection, real-time monitoring and optimisation of the building's energy performance. A suitable solution will help you achieve the objectives of the BACS Decree in an effective and efficient manner.
What are the advantages of an energy management solution for your building?
An energy management solution offers many advantages for your building. It optimises energy consumption, which translates into long-term financial savings. In addition, it improves the comfort of the occupants by guaranteeing adequate temperature and lighting conditions. Good energy management also helps reduce your building's environmental footprint by reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Why opt for an automated management solution for your energy-consuming equipment?
An automated energy management solution has many advantages over a manual approach. It allows real-time monitoring, automation of control and regulation tasks, and the possibility to programme energy optimisation scenarios. This saves time, reduces human error and continuously optimises the building's energy performance.
What are the key features of a BMS solution?
A complete BMS solution must offer several key features. It should enable the collection of energy consumption data, real-time monitoring of installations, programming and automation of energy management scenarios, generation of reports and analyses to assess building performance, as well as integration with other building systems and equipment.
How to choose the best BMS or CMS solution for your building?
To choose the best BMS (Building Management System) or CMS (Centralised Management System) solution for your building, it is essential to take several criteria into account. First, assess the specific needs of your building, such as size, complexity of installations, and energy efficiency objectives.
Then consider the functionalities offered by each solution, with the emphasis on support, implementation times, the level of service provided, guaranteed responsibility, and the durability of the solution and the equipment.
It is also important to consider the concept of a one-stop shop, technical support and the reputation and experience of the supplier. Don't hesitate to ask for demonstrations or customer references to help you make your choice.
What are the steps to follow for a successful implementation of your energy management solution?
For a successful implementation of your energy management solution, you can follow these steps:
Conduct an energy audit of your building to identify areas for improvement.
- Set your energy efficiency and cost reduction targets.
- Choose a building management system solution that suits your needs and takes technical constraints into account.
- Plan the installation of the solution, ensuring compatibility with existing equipment.
- Configure the solution according to your specific needs and energy optimisation scenarios.
- Ensure that the responsible personnel are trained in the use and monitoring of the solution.
- Set up regular energy performance monitoring and make adjustments as necessary.
What concrete results can you expect from a BMS in order to achieve the objectives of the BACS decree?
With a suitable BMS solution, you can achieve the objectives of the BACS decree in a concrete way. You can reduce your building's energy consumption, which translates into savings on your energy bills. In addition, you can improve the comfort of the occupants by ensuring optimal temperature and lighting conditions. A BMS solution also makes it possible to identify faults or anomalies in the installations, which facilitates preventive maintenance and reduces repair costs.
