Smart Building
Offices, schools, healthcare facilities, retail: obligations tighten while energy prices stay volatile. We handle both at once, starting with the actions that pay back fastest.
The deadlines that shape projects
Four families of action
HVAC — heating, ventilation, air conditioning
The largest load, and where the gap between potential and reality is widest.
- Local control by zone and by exposure
- Centralised supervision and occupancy schedules
- Optimisation through anticipation and thermal inertia
- Detection of drifts and faulty equipment
Access, openings and solar protection
What enters and leaves the building directly drives what it consumes.
- Emitter cut-off on open window
- Access control and time zoning
- Blind and brise-soleil control
- Logging of access and overrides
Comfort — lighting and multimedia
Lighting is the fastest gain to capture and the most visible to occupants.
- Presence and daylight detection
- Dimming and colour temperatures
- Scenarios per room type
- Automatic switch-off and equipment standby
Compliance and reporting
Turning a regulatory constraint into a managed trajectory rather than an annual formality.
- Establishing the baseline
- Continuous monitoring and gap detection
- Evidence of the actions taken
- Reports usable for declarations
Start with what pays back in months
In most buildings, a significant share of the gain comes from tuning, scheduling and fault correction — not from heavy investment. We handle those first, because they fund the rest.
Structural works — equipment replacement, distribution, generation — come afterwards, once reliable measurements exist to size them properly.
- Phase 1 — tuning and schedulingPayback typically within months. Little or no hardware.
- Phase 2 — instrumentation and controlSub-metering, regulation, supervision. Payback usually under two years.
- Phase 3 — continuous optimisationAlgorithms, load shifting, seasonal tuning. The gain holds instead of eroding.
- Phase 4 — heavy investmentDecided on measured data rather than catalogue estimates.
Let's talk about your property.
Thirty minutes is usually enough to scope a project: the guest journey you want, operating constraints, regulatory deadlines and a realistic order of magnitude for the payback. Two showhomes are open to visit, in La Londe-les-Maures and Les Arcs.
