Energy for business
Commercial energy, measured and managed
Consumption, costs, and efficiency for offices, sites, and industrial facilities. Peak demand, power factor, and heating schedules shape the bill as much as the tariff does.
Where the savings sit
Three levers that shorten payback
Monitoring, controls, and heat recovery each address a different share of commercial consumption. Their value depends on the building and its use.
Monitoring
Sub-metering and peak demand
Sub-meters show which circuits and processes drive consumption. Tracking peak demand and power factor reveals charges that a flat average hides.
Controls
HVAC scheduling and LED retrofits
Matching heating and ventilation to occupancy, and replacing lighting with LEDs, reduces run hours. Results vary with building age and occupancy patterns.
Process heat
Industrial waste heat recovery
Heat rejected by compressors, furnaces, and cooling loops can preheat water or air. Feasibility depends on temperature levels and proximity of loads.
Regulatory context
Tertiary sector decrees set legal reduction trajectories for commercial buildings
Obligations under the French tertiary decree apply to defined building categories and set consumption reduction targets over stated horizons. Check the current text on Légifrance and the ADEME guidance for exact thresholds, reference years, and deadlines, as these may be updated.
