Control the equipment of a tertiary building with our Building Management System solutions
The tertiary eco-energy scheme and the BACS (Building Automation Control System) decree specify the tools and milestones for leading the energy transition of tertiary buildings, in the service of their performance and comfort.
The BMS, a solution that optimizes energy flows
BMS is a solution that directly optimizes the energy flows of the installations in a building. It is similar to home automation, but differs from it in that it only concerns tertiary and industrial buildings. It is also called "immotics" (contraction of the words "building" and "computer"). It is the manager of the building, trained in support, who manages this system.
- Did you know that?Installing and maintaining a Building Management System (BMS) means :
- Respect the obligations of the BACS decree and contribute to the compliance with the tertiary eco-energy scheme
- Achieve significant energy savings (up to 30% energy savings according to ADEME (2015))
- Improve the comfort of your users and occupants
The GTB, a computerized control system
The BMS is a computer system that remotely controls all the equipment in the building, such as:
- Energy metering,
- Management of thermal installations,
- Management of cooling installations,
- Lighting management,
- Plumbing,
- Elevators,
- Elevations,
- High/low current information,
- Medical fluids.
To know the information related to the equipment, three main types of data are collected by the GTB system:
-
- Measurement: energy consumption, number of breakdowns, temperature in a room or on a floor...
-
-
- Status: operation of a device, position of an equipment...
-
-
- Alarm: energy drift, equipment failure, malfunction signal...
-
What are the advantages of Building Management Systems?
The implementation of these automation and control systems in commercial buildings aims to control building energy expenses while improving the comfort offered to users and occupants. The BMS responds concretely to this need by saving up to 30% of energy (according to ADEME, 2015). In addition, it provides the following benefits:
-
- Identify energy drifts, leaks, loopholes and waste, to improve energy performance,
-
-
- Control and supervise the building, its equipment and uses for better overall performance,
-
-
- Optimize building equipment costs with a consolidated view, as well as detailed views by zone and equipment,
-
-
- Enhance staff and building safety by anticipating electrical failures of building security systems,
-
-
- Centralize all the data on a single tool.

How to exploit the tertiary regulatory framework?
If you are the owner, manager or tenant of an existing or new commercial building (office buildings, campuses, warehouses, towers, shopping centers, schools, high schools, etc.) with an air conditioning or heating system, you are concerned. It is never too late to install or maintain the BMS, whether your building is under construction or renovation.
There are two opportunities to improve the energy performance and the comfort of your commercial buildings:
-
The BMS at the service of the tertiary eco-energy system
Deploying a BMS is one of the key actions in the action plan to be implemented with regard to the tertiary eco-energy system. The BMS solution allows for the pooling of the metering plan and facilitates the obligation to declare in the OPERAT platform.
-
BMS at the heart of the BACS decree
Existing or new, occupied or not, partially or fully equipped with a BMS, each building/asset must be the subject of a "just in time" approach when it is brought into compliance within the framework of a multi-year work and maintenance program. Indeed, the BACS decree requires the installation and maintenance of a BMS solution.
