WHITE BOOK - Meeting the requirements of the BACS and Tertiary decrees

The Tertiary Sector Decree: an obligation to reduce energy consumption

The Tertiary Sector Decree, adopted as part of the Élan Act, aims to reduce the energy consumption of tertiary sector buildings. It applies to all buildings over 1,000 m², whether public or private.

Target figures for a successful transition:

• -40% by 2030
• -50% by 2040
• -60% by 2050

These targets are measured against a baseline year. Each building manager must declare their annual energy consumption on the OPERAT platform, set up by ADEME, in order to monitor changes in building performance.

Why is compliance with the Tertiary Decree essential?

Failure to comply with these regulations may result in :

• Financial penalties
• Reduction in the value of the building
• Damage to the company's image

That's why it's essential to put in place an action plan to optimise energy management.

Why is the Tertiary Decree essential?

• Reducing your carbon footprint
• Energy savings 
• Better management of technical equipment
• Enhanced value of commercial buildings on the property market

BACS decree: The revolution in building management systems (BMS)

The BACS Decree follows a complementary logic. It requires the installation of Building Automation and Control Systems. These technologies enable intelligent management of heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment.

Through real-time monitoring, these systems reduce energy wastage and make it easier to identify faults. It will be compulsory to install these systems in new buildings from January 2024 (HVAC output > 70 kW). For existing buildings, this obligation applies from 2025 (capacity > 290 kW). In 2027, this obligation will be extended to all equipment above 70 kW.

Timetable for application of the BACS Decree

• 2024: compulsory installation for new buildings with heating and air-conditioning equipment rated at more than 70 kW
• 2025: obligation for existing buildings with equipment > 290 kW
• 2027: mandatory for all equipment > 70 kW

These technical management systems enable real-time monitoring of data, facilitate the detection of anomalies and reduce energy losses.

Advantages of BACS systems

• Real-time monitoring of consumption
• Rapid identification of anomalies
• Reduce energy costs
• Improved user comfort

The benefits of automation :

• Optimising consumption
• Reducing energy costs
• Improved indoor comfort
• Real-time detection of anomalies

Reduced energy costs

By optimising the management of HVAC systems and monitoring energy data, Nexelec solutions enable significant energy savings to be made, while reducing the ecological footprint of buildings.

Why comply with the BACS and Tertiary decrees?

Compliance with the BACS and Tertiary decrees is not just a legal obligation. It is an opportunity to :

• Improve the overall performance of your buildings
• Reduce your costs
• Participate in the energy transition
• Enhance the value of your property assets

A simplified energy transition thanks to connected solutions

The installation of BACS systems represents an opportunity for commercial building managers to modernise their infrastructures. With centralised management and automated control devices, buildings can reduce their energy consumption, detect anomalies and continuously adjust technical parameters.

A winning action plan :

• Monitoring consumption levels
• Identification of areas with high energy consumption
• Optimising technical equipment

Nexelec's solutions enable you to comply simply and effectively with the BACS and Tertiary sector decrees, while improving the performance of your buildings.

To make a success of your energy transition, it is essential to set up high-performance technical management systems tailored to your needs. Nexelec's connected solutions enable you to achieve your energy objectives while guaranteeing optimum comfort for the users of your commercial buildings.
