ENERGY PERFORMANCE: INTEGRATE THERMAL AND ELECTRICAL NEEDS
ENERGY PERFORMANCE: INTEGRATE THERMAL AND ELECTRICAL NEEDS
One integrated energy system, more value for your building
Replacing an installation is not always enough to sustainably improve a building’s performance. Real value comes from the ability of different technologies to work together. By intelligently combining thermal and electrical systems, Equans helps you reduce energy consumption, strengthen energy autonomy and achieve your performance and decarbonisation goals.
An integrated energy approach for higher-performing buildings
Energy performance does not depend on a single technology, but on the ability of all installations to operate together. A heat pump, photovoltaic installation, battery system, HVAC solution or energy storage system delivers greater value when designed as part of a coherent energy ecosystem.
At Equans, we analyse your building as a whole to create synergies between energy production, storage, distribution and consumption. This approach maximises the use of every kWh generated, recovered or stored.
Thermal and electrical synergy for better-performing installations
Why combine thermal and electrical systems? As energy demand grows and grid capacity becomes increasingly constrained, every kilowatt counts. By considering heat and electricity together from the start, we help you improve performance, reduce energy costs and make smarter use of available capacity.
For who?
For organisations that want to get more from their energy investments.
We help building owners and facility managers make smart technology choices that improve performance, optimise energy use and deliver long-term value.
A performance-driven approach
Every building has its own constraints, usage patterns and objectives. That is why we develop an energy strategy tailored to your specific situation.
- Analysis (UNDERSTAND)
We assess your current and future thermal and electrical needs, consumption profiles and site constraints. - Design (ACT)
We design an integrated energy chain combining the most relevant technologies for your building. - Optimisation (ACCELERATE)
We unlock the value of existing energy flows through energy recovery, storage and intelligent use of available resources, supported by advanced monitoring and control systems that continuously optimise performance and energy consumption. - Continuous improvement (CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT)
We provide ongoing monitoring and optimisation to ensure long-term results.
Our integrated solutions for higher-performing buildings
Every energy flow has value. We help our customers fully leverage the interactions between different building energy systems to maximise overall efficiency and sustainably improve return on investment.
Look beyond individual installations. Choose an integrated building solution.
Case Study
BNP Paribas Fortis
BNP Paribas Fortis' headquarters were designed as a fully integrated energy system to maximise performance and efficiency.
By combining local energy generation, innovative thermal solutions and intelligent control systems, the building optimises every energy resource while reducing its carbon footprint and operating costs.
- Nearly 85% reduction in energy consumption
- 13,000 mÂł thermal storage capacity for heating and cooling
- Intelligent control through a BMS integrating 12,000 data points
- Comprehensive technical installations with integrated maintenance

Frequently asked questions about our integrated energy solutions for buildings
Do you have questions about our integrated energy solutions for buildings? We are here to provide clear and straightforward answers.
Can't find what you're looking for?
Because the greatest value often comes from the interaction between systems rather than the performance of an isolated piece of equipment.
No. We first look at how existing equipment and energy flows can be optimised and leveraged whenever it is relevant to do so.
Lower energy costs, improved comfort, reduced emissions and a better return on investment.
Yes, particularly if you are facing electrification challenges, pursuing decarbonisation goals or dealing with high energy costs.
By combining solar generation, energy storage, heat pumps and intelligent control systems.
Not necessarily. It depends on the building’s energy profile and the objectives being pursued.
We analyse building usage, energy consumption, technical constraints and long-term objectives.
Yes. Our teams also deliver maintenance, monitoring and continuous optimisation of energy installations.
