The building sector accounts for 44% of the energy consumed in France. In a sensitive ecological and energy context, the gains to be made by adopting an energy efficiency approach are significant. But how can you ensure the fastest ROI? By deploying a data analysis tool targeted at energy monitoring paired with a Building Management System (BMS).

There's no longer any debate. Driven by ecological and energy challenges and their economic impact, several governments like the French one are taking the lead on BMS. For example, the French BACS decree clearly states that "automation and control systems" must be "interoperable with the various technical systems of the building". But what does BMS interoperability mean?

We asked Frédéric Wafflart, Business Development Director at AREAL, three questions to shed light on the criteria for choosing a BMS system.

On 29 September, AREAL inaugurated its new premises in the town of Forbach, in the Grand Est region.

The Topkapi software platform is now interoperable with the Orange Live Objects portal through its scriptable protocol.

Everyone's talking about BMS, but what does this acronym really mean? AREAL aims to answer the main questions, from the definition of Building Management System to uses and the services provided.
