In the building sector, the energy transition now translates into energy flexibility, an obligatory step to ensure sustainable energy management. It consists of adapting the energy consumption of a building to the variations in energy demand and supply at the level of the global electrical network. Through the use of innovative technologies, building owners can reduce energy consumption, optimize the use of renewable energy and thus improve occupant comfort.
This is precisely the objective of the solution developed by Watchdog. “A small connected box that is the brain of the installation to which we are going to connect a multitude of building equipment in an interoperable way” explains Charles Jabbour-Gédéon, founder of Watchdog. Thus, the building is transformed into a data block that can be controlled by AI from a box connected to connected actuators. More flexible and lighter than BMS systems, the Watchdog box will be able to adapt the uses of a building according to uses, schedules, energy prices and use of equipment in order to generate natural savings and therefore reduce energy bills and overconsumption peaks. .
Optimization of the energy performance of buildings
If the use of Watchdog proves to be an effective solution to monitor and control energy consumption in real time, smart buildings are equipped with sensors and control devices that allow monitoring of environmental conditions and regulating energy consumption accordingly. It thus responds to the major decrees, BACS and Tertiary, which encourage owners and operators to optimize the energy performance of their buildings. “Through this solution, we can quickly bring any building surface affected by these two decrees into compliance” explains Victor Poilâne, Director of Development. “Especially because our solution can be financed with the CEE premium that allows us to take charge of the energy renovation work linked to the BMS system”.
Today, the challenges of energy sobriety, equipment automation and data management are becoming more important. Particularly innovative, the Watchdog solution has already proven itself, in particular with various structures such as Carrefour or Printemps. It has also just won, together with Carrefour Property and Carmila, the first Bouclier prize (up to 54% savings) during the Cube-Flex national competition in the presence of Agnès Pannier-Runacher, Minister of Energy Transition. It also won first place in the Commerce and Services category thanks to its work with the Carrefour brand.
