OptimiZ: Get more out of your BMS with intelligent monitoring and control
A Building Management System (BMS) is a powerful tool. At least, it is if it is set up correctly and actively monitored. OptimiZ helps facility managers and technical services to continuously improve the performance of their installations without compromising on comfort. From fault detection to recommendations: OptimiZ reveals what would otherwise remain hidden. And that generates profit.
What is OptimiZ?
OptimiZ is a software module that continuously collects data from your building management system and analyses it for irregularities. Each deviation, a ‘Spark’, is given a clear explanation and a recommendation for action. This allows you to make targeted adjustments, automate processes or save money.
OptimiZ brings peace of mind to your system and efficiency to your consumption. Without compromising your comfort.
What problems does OptimiZ detect?
OptimiZ analyses and reports on, among other things:
- Programming errors or outdated settings
- Installations that continue to run outside of scheduled hours
- Heating and cooling that are active simultaneously
- Defective components such as valves, controllers or sensors
- Excessive load on frequency-controlled motors
- Poorly performing night-time reductions
- Energy losses due to incorrect settings
Each deviation is visually displayed with a recommendation: optimisation, maintenance or reprogramming.
How does OptimiZ work?
- Data input via your existing BMS (compatible with Siemens, Priva, Desigo, Modbus, etc.)
- Analysis of historical and real-time data
- Detection of Sparks (deviations) and generation of suggestions
- Visualisation in an intuitive interface
- Action via internal teams or Equans support
OptimiZ runs on our infrastructure, but can also be installed locally.

Some customers whose buildings we have already optimised thanks to OptimiZ
Belfius - Rogier Tower
Thanks to OptimiZ, the Rogier Tower was able to make the transition from traditional maintenance to truly smart and efficient building management. By continuously collecting and analysing data and making automatic adjustments, energy consumption became transparent and predictable. This also resulted in greater comfort, lower costs and reduced CO2 emissions. OptimiZ thus became the digital layer that transformed the building into an intelligent, future-proof energy ecosystem.
- ≤ 40% energy savings/year through intelligent control and continuous optimisation
- Faster ROI through daily monitoring and measurable effects
CHR Sambre & Meuse
Thanks to Equans Digital, CHR Sambre & Meuse made the transition from traditional management to smart, data-driven energy management. By placing data at the heart of their daily operations, through real-time monitoring, fault detection and targeted optimisations, the hospital's energy behaviour became fully transparent and controllable. This digital transformation now forms the backbone of their energy approach, with a lasting impact on costs, sustainability and operational reliability.
- €300,000 savings per year
- 16% less primary energy and no less than 1,100 tonnes less CO2 emissions

A BMS is an intelligent system that centrally monitors, analyses and controls all technical installations in a building. This allows HVAC installations, cooling, lighting and other systems to function more efficiently. With a well-configured BMS, you can drastically reduce your energy consumption and make your building much more comfortable for its users.
OptimiZ is an advanced detection system from Equans that quickly detects minor deviations and malfunctions, even when they remain invisible in a traditional BMS. Examples include a quietly leaking tap or a temperature sensor that measures incorrectly. By immediately identifying problems, you prevent energy loss and unexpected costs.
The combination of BMS and OptimiZ demonstrably leads to significant energy savings. In projects such as the Rogier Tower, Equans was able to reduce annual gas and electricity consumption by approximately 40%. Thanks to daily quotas and real-time monitoring, any exceedances are immediately visible, allowing you to make adjustments more quickly.
We can integrate or optimise a BMS in virtually any type of building. OptimiZ also works on existing systems and can therefore be deployed without the need for complete modernisation. Whether it's an office tower, a hospital, an industrial site or a building with critical environments, Equans has experience with complex infrastructures and offers tailor-made solutions.
No, that is not necessarily the case. Equans can take care of the entire management process. Our experts monitor consumption, analyse deviations and suggest improvements. OptimiZ automatically detects problems, allowing us to take immediate action. You receive clear reports and complete peace of mind.
By eliminating energy leaks, optimising HVAC settings and automatically detecting faults, you will often see a noticeable reduction in energy consumption after just a few months.
