Energy Management
ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (EMS): BENEFIT FROM EXPERT SUPPORT.
Understanding Energy Management
Optimizing energy consumption is crucial to achieving the reduction targets set by energy and environmental regulations. This approach also contributes to the reduction of CO2 emissions. At Enerlis, we support you in transforming these challenges into opportunities, through an approach of analysis, monitoring and support of Energy Management.
Our expertise in energy management
Evaluate energy and economic issues
We analyze your energy and economic needs in order to design specific action plans. This evaluation allows us to identify priorities and define optimization strategies adapted to your objectives.
Deploy action plans via energy data and on-site analyzes
– Expert Energy Management System (SEME): our Nextep monitoring software measures and analyzes energy consumption in real time.
This tool is essential for monitoring the performance of your buildings and identifying potential savings.
– Adjustments and retrocommissioning: we optimize and adjust the regulation of the various equipment in your building, so that they are as efficient as possible, and adapted to your use (occupancy schedule, inertia, etc.).
– Technical Building Management: a supervision system is necessary to ensure the management of all installations and guarantee user comfort, as well as optimize the energy consumption of your equipment. If your building is not equipped with a BMS system, we can offer you an offer following the audit of your installations.

Energy Management and the tertiary decree
Compliance and benefits
Compliance and benefits
Buildings for tertiary use of more than 1000 m² must comply with the tertiary decree. This involves choosing a reference year and putting in place action plans to achieve targets for reducing their energy consumption (-40% in 2030, -50% in 2040, -60% in 2050). Enerlis supports you in this process to guarantee your compliance and maximize your savings.
Analysis and continuous monitoring
Analysis and continuous monitoring
We compare your energy consumption to that of similar buildings, with equivalent consumption reduction objectives. Periodic meetings will make it possible to monitor the progress of the actions implemented, validate them or adjust them if necessary. In addition, monitoring reports (monthly for the first year, then quarterly) will be sent to you.

FAQs
A question?
As part of a performance guarantee contract (Esco) with works, it is always relevant to implement Energy Management in order to sustain the savings linked to the works.
Outside of the ESCO contract, Energy Management will be interesting on an energy-intensive site with a BMS already in place, but little or not used. An energy audit can highlight energy optimization opportunities applicable to installations.
The ESCO performance guarantee contract model follows the following steps:
Carrying out an energy audit,
Proposal for building improvement work, with performance guarantee,
Financing the work with monthly rent over X years,
Commissioning of new equipment,
Energy monitoring or Energy Management.
Energy Management therefore intervenes as a final step, to ensure that contractual energy savings are actually achieved.
When the equipment is put into service, an initial adjustment is made. Subsequently, the Energy Manager intervenes to refine these settings over time, finding the best balance between occupant comfort and energy savings.
As part of an ESCO contract with a performance guarantee, the Energy Manager intervenes for at least the duration of the contract.
For an Energy Management contract alone, monitoring is carried out over periods of at least one year.
Energy Managers can operate throughout mainland France.
Absolutely, Energy Management services can be adapted to a single large site as well as to a multitude of smaller sites.
As part of an ESCO model with works, the announced energy savings are guaranteed. For an Energy Management service alone, the service provider and the customer can also decide to share the amount of savings over the duration of the contract, with no objective limit.
The Energy Manager's mission is to save energy, while guaranteeing the comfort of occupants. Its intervention must be transparent for the user, but also impactful in reducing energy bills.
Thanks to his expertise, the Energy Manager can even provide solutions to improve comfort in the building.
The Energy Manager does not replace the maintainer. He helps control the equipment but is not involved in maintenance (replacing equipment, cleaning filters, etc.), nor in emergency repairs.
In many cases, the building operator, with his technical team, aims to keep the various equipment in good working order. Its main constraint is to ensure the comfort of the occupants, and it does not necessarily have the overall energy vision to reduce the impact on consumption.
The Energy Manager works hand in hand with the operator. He learns about operating and comfort issues, and seeks viable long-term solutions. This can range from adjusting instructions, to proposing new work, to optimizing equipment regulation.
By detecting consumption anomalies, the Energy Manager will also help the operator to detect defective equipment (leaky valves, HS regulation, etc.). He will thus be able to prioritize the most energy and financially profitable work and/or replacement of equipment.
The Energy Manager works using several tools:
An EMS which makes it possible to analyze the overall consumption of the site by delivery point of each fluid (electricity, gas, heat and cold networks, etc.)
The use of on-site regulation/programming software,
Internal technical skills in HVAC, BMS and electricity if necessary,
The site's BMS, accessible on site or remotely, allowing the detection of anomalies (equipment malfunction, poorly optimized regulation, incorrect setting of instructions, etc.)
Regular site visits, including discussions with the teams on site.
