Genatis offer

Through its solutions in natural ventilation systems, adiabatic cooling, air treatment systems, and destratification, Genatis offers fully adaptive and comprehensive solutions for intelligent building management. To optimize their management, Genatis develops its offering and proposes 3 levels of performance :
  • Servo control : Electrical control panels allowing the opening and closing of openings on the facade or roof of buildings. These controls manage either natural smoke extraction functions, natural ventilation functions, or both combined. In the latter case, priority is given to natural smoke extraction.
  • Automated control : More advanced than electrical control panels, these control boxes enable the management of a Genatis solution. The controller includes embedded intelligence to autonomously manage scenarios of Free Cooling and Night Cooling. It can be connected to a Building Management System (BMS).
  • Supervision : Supervision boxes enable higher performance levels. Centralizing information in a user interface allows easy access and management of all installations within the building. Designed for simplified Plug & Play installation, supervisors are compatible with all standard protocols (ModBus RTU, ModBus IP, LoRaWAN…) and are fully flexible. Control is simplified and intuitive via any web browser (Google Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari…).

Genatis Control & Solutions

Service industry decree and BACS decree

Mobile Control & Shading

The control of the external venetian blinds ensures the ideal inclination of the slats to block direct sunlight while maximizing brightness.

Natural Ventilation & Controls

The control system optimizes natural ventilation, particularly at night, to lower the temperature without human intervention.

Controls & Adiabatic Cooling

Adiabatic control and cooling are essential for efficient, sustainable building management, combining strategy and energy savings.

In France, the energy renovation of service industry buildings is regulated by two decrees imposing obligations of means and results: the «décret tertiaire» (service industry buildings decree) and the «décret BACS» (Building Automation and Control Systems decree). The objective is to involve all owners and tenants of service industry buildings in an ecological transition project.

The «décret tertiaire» aims to reduce energy consumption by setting specific objectives for 2030, 2040, and 2050. The «décret BACS» complements the «décret tertiaire» by determining the means to achieve the consumption reduction objectives. It aims to improve the energy performance of service industry buildings by requiring the installation of automation and control systems (BMS – Building Management Systems).

All non-residential service industry buildings, for which the heating or air conditioning system, combined or not with a ventilation system, must comply with:

  • from April 8, 2024 for new buildings with a nominal power greater than 70 kW
  • from January 1, 2025 for systems with a useful nominal power greater than 290 kW
  • from January 1, 2027 for systems with a useful nominal power greater than 70 kW

Did you know ?

Since April 7, 2023, the decree includes a new provision requiring mandatory periodic inspection of control systems (every 2 to 5 years). This inspection extends beyond system installation to include monitoring of calibration and operation to ensure expected energy savings.

Article R175-3 of the French Building and Housing Code provides details on the expected functionalities of automation and control systems. These systems must, among other things:

  • Continuously monitor, record, and analyze energy production and consumption data of building technical systems by functional zone and on an hourly basis, adjusting technical systems accordingly. This data is stored on a monthly scale for five years.;
  • Benchmark the building’s energy efficiency against reference values, corresponding to energy study data or characteristics of each technical system. These systems detect inefficiencies in technical systems and inform the building operator of opportunities to improve energy efficiency;
  • Be interoperables with various building technical systems;
  • Allow for manual shutdown and autonomous management of one or more building technical systems.

The generated and archived data are accessible to the owner of the automation and control system, who owns them. The owner makes them available to the building manager upon request and provides each operator of the connected technical systems with relevant data.

The standard NF EN ISO 52120-1:2022 distinguishes four classes of BMS, classified from A to D.
Three of them meet the requirements imposed by the BACS decree:

  • Class A BMS, a high-efficiency management system with comprehensive functionalities. It allows full control of heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC), lighting, and all energy-consuming devices. It maximizes energy savings and optimizes resource management with real-time monitoring and predictive maintenance features.
  • Class B BMS, system with advanced functionalities. It monitors consumption and controls major energy equipment systems. It often strikes a good balance between cost and performance.
  • Class C BMS, system with standard functionalities, less efficient in terms of energy savings.

Regardless of their class, all BMSs are designed to reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions from the building’s main equipment. However, it’s important to note that the performance of a BMS is directly linked to its class. A Class A BMS with high performance offers much greater energy savings potential compared to a Class C BMS.

Financial incentives (CEE) available for installing a BMS help support managers and facilitate its implementation. It’s worth noting that only Class A or B automation and control systems qualify for these incentives.
