Electrical engineering for commercial buildings and retail

BMS, sub-metering, tertiary efficiency, lighting and distribution: EOS Électricité works alongside property managers and facility managers to design commercial installations that are performant, controllable and discreet in operation.

Overview

A commercial installation that is controllable, metered and scalable

Property and facility managers know that a performant commercial building is steered through measurement.

Offices, headquarters, retail spaces: every commercial site combines comfort requirements, continuity of use and energy efficiency. EOS designs installations where measurement, control and maintainability are thought through from the design stage — so the building remains readable and controllable for its entire operating life.

BMS control

Supervision and building management integrated from the design stage.

Sub-metering

Fine measurement of consumption by floor, by use or by tenant.

Tertiary efficiency

Technical choices aligned with the principles of commercial-building efficiency.

Sector challenges

What property and facility managers face

Commercial asset managers share four families of constraints.

  • Continuity of use

    The building stays occupied: interventions scheduled outside office hours or floor by floor.

  • Multi-tenant

    Sub-metering and recharging required by lease.

  • Energy efficiency

    A savings trajectory expected by the owner and tenants.

  • Reversibility

    Partitions and distribution reworked at every tenant change.

Business continuity

Continuity of tertiary use and discreet interventions

For a facility manager, continuity of use is played out through discretion. Works happen outside office hours, floor by floor, with no perceived impact on occupants.

Continuity of use

Phased interventions, floors treated separately, no global interruption.

Out-of-hours works

Works concentrated on evenings and weekends depending on use.

Targeted backup

Backup supply sized on truly critical functions.

Continuous supervision

BMS and supervision maintained during works to trace operations.

Optimisation and backup functions rely on our dedicated offerings: see our continuity offerings.

EOS expertise

Commercial electrical engineering skills we bring

Our teams work alongside property managers, facility managers and commercial project ownership.

BMS and supervision

Design, integration and control useful to operations teams.

Sub-metering

  • Hospitality and serviced residence
  • Reception spaces and conference centres
  • Refurbishments and floor repositioning
Engineering & regulatory framework

Engineering and commercial-building regulatory framework

Designed with consideration for the regulatory framework applicable to commercial buildings, including principles of tertiary efficiency, sub-metering and building management.

  1. 01

    Tertiary efficiency

    Technical choices aligned with the principles of the tertiary efficiency trajectory.

  2. 02

    Sub-metering

    Measurement by floor, use or tenant, usable by the owner.

  3. 03

    BMS

    Supervision and control aligned with building-management principles.

  4. 04

    Lighting

    LED and dimming solutions aligned with the principles of comfort and efficiency.

  5. 05

    Reversibility

    Distribution designed to absorb occupation changes without major rework.

Our designs are developed in line with the principles of the applicable regulatory framework. EOS Électricité does not substitute for inspection bodies and does not attest to final compliance, which falls under the verification and commissioning procedures applicable to the project.
