The intelligent management of the so-called “GDP” building consists in managing and steering on the basis of comfort energy uses (heating-air conditioning and domestic hot water), in order to guarantee the desired comfort for the users and visitors of the building, improve their satisfaction, control and reduce energy consumption.

The Intelligent Building Management will be composed of:

- equipment for measuring and controlling comfort uses, room by room, of the piloted building;

- a user interface (HMI) allowing the customer to control centralized and remote uses;

- technical and functional support (after-sales service) provided by the service provider for the customer;

- an annual assessment of consumption for managed uses.

These services must also include:

- understand the Setup and the equipment installation;

- adapt to different configurations of heating system or different energies within the same building;

- provide for the possibility of additional functionalities such as piloting or monitoring other uses, alerts on abnormal events (opening of the door, leaks, consumption, etc.);

- interface with the client's business tools (e.g. hotel reservation system, meeting room reservation and other building management tools);

- be eligible for EWCs;

- constitute a technical exclusivity for “intelligent building management” marketed by EDF;

- also include digital exchange and sharing tools between EDF and the service provider, to be implemented within the framework of secure exchange protocols, for:

—— the administrative management of the GDP business between the holder and EDF;

—— market monitoring;

—— the provision and access to the data produced by the service at EDF, for study purposes.

Volumetry:

The volume of customers to be treated is included in a range going from 100 to 400 business marketed on the first two years of the market then the ambition is to increase this number of business in the following years. The objective may evolve depending on the market response to the offer and EDF's decision to internalize the activity in the EDF group. The estimated market potential is 400,000 tertiary sites in France.

Target:

All public or private tertiary buildings located in France, whatever the energy used on the site.

Final objective:

EDF thus wants to commit to its customers to support them in energy performance and help them achieve energy savings.
