Electrical flexibility: how to turn your BMS into an additional revenue stream?

SCorp-io enables electrical flexibility in buildings with Orus Energy.

At SCorp-io, we often talk about reducing consumption, improving comfort, and ensuring compliance with the BACS Decree and Tertiary Decree.

But today, we're slightly shifting our perspective.

Reducing is good.
Monetizing is better.

We have developed a connector between our two platforms with Orus Energy, an expert in electrical flexibility.

The result is that your buildings no longer just consume less.
They can now consume at the right time... and get paid for it.

Transforming commercial buildings into active participants in the electricity grid

The French electricity grid is under strain, especially in winter.
When demand surges, compensation is needed. And often, this means activating more carbon-intensive backup power plants.

But there is a smarter alternative:
the electrical flexibility of commercial buildings.

The principle is simple:
if a building can temporarily adjust its consumption (heating, cooling, ventilation...), it can relieve the grid during peak times.

And this capability has value.

Orus Energy aggregates these flexibilities and monetizes them on the energy markets.
In return, participating buildings receive remuneration — up to €1/sqm/year depending on the site's configuration and potential.

To put it concretely, a 5,000 sqm hotel can generate up to €5,000 per year.
No modifications. No discomfort. No operational complexity.

Why does compatibility with SCorp-io make a difference?

Flexibility can only work if equipment can be controlled remotely.

That's precisely where SCorp-io comes in. Because we already connect your heating systems, air conditioning, heat pumps, boilers, AHUs... we can temporarily adjust power demand without compromising comfort or disrupting site operations.

Integration with Orus Energy allows us to take the approach we've championed from the beginning even further:
intelligent regulation, serving energy performance and cost-effectiveness.

Flexibility becomes a natural extension of your BMS.

How does electrical flexibility work with SCorp-io and Orus Energy?

1️⃣ Potential Analysis

Each building has thermal inertia, specific usage patterns, and constraints.
We identify operational leeway without impacting operations.

2️⃣ Scenario Configuration

Modulation scenarios are integrated directly into SCorp-io:
– slight heating modulation
– temporary deferral of cooling production
– smoothing of power demand

3️⃣ Automatic Activation

When the grid sends a signal via Orus Energy, adjustments are triggered automatically.

The building contributes.
The grid stabilizes.
Comfort remains unaffected.

Then everything returns to normal.

For occupants, it's invisible.
For the operator, it's transparent.
For management, it's measurable.

‍Two drivers of value creation

This approach generates value in two ways:

- Firstly, optimizing power demand allows for adjusting the electricity subscription and limiting overages. This represents a structural and lasting gain.

- Secondly, participation in flexibility mechanisms entitles you to remuneration.

This financial valorization rewards the building's contribution to grid stability.
Less energy, more comfort… and now a new revenue stream.‍

Electrical flexibility and the BACS decree: an opportunity, not a constraint

The BACS decree mandates the automation and energy management of tertiary buildings. Many see it as an obligation.

We see it as a lever. A compliant, interoperable, and controllable BMS isn't just about ticking a regulatory box.

It enables:

– intelligent regulation
– consumption optimization
– electrical flexibility
– and now… revenue generation

Compliance becomes strategic.

A natural evolution of our vision

At SCorp-io, we champion a simple idea: Energy performance must be accessible, measurable… and profitable.

With Orus Energy, we're adding a new dimension to BMS.

Your buildings are no longer just efficient; they become active & flexible. They contribute to the energy transition and generate value.

And if you're already equipped with SCorp-io? Activation can be immediate.

Let's talk.
