The increase in energy costs has raised awareness to all stakeholders of buildings that operating expenses could be a source of economy. If the approach has been taken into account in the design, it remains improvable in the exploitation phase. It is necessary to consider the building as a process, analyze the flow and can be interesting to look at the automation experience of manufacturers in order to copy their methods and analysis tools. We also call this field, Building Management System. We propose here to address the subject from this angle.

Information Technology and Communication = a lever for value creation in energy efficiency
- BMS
Relevant information can be turned into action to improve energy performance and cost reductions associated.
- Up to 30% reduction in consumption (and therefore costs and associated CO2 emission are accessible)
- The building is one of the key targets: 40% of energy consumption
- 2 degrees gap on the temperature (hot or cold) is 15% of consumption more or less
- The indoor or outdoor lighting : 30% to 50% reduction can be obtained for same service level (lighting is an important item in the energy bill
