FrequentlyAsked Questions
Asked Questions
What is a BMS?
A BMS (Building Management System) is a system that controls, manages, and supervises a building’s technical equipment (heating, air conditioning, ventilation, lighting, etc.). The goal is to reduce energy consumption, improve occupant comfort, and simplify maintenance.
What is the difference between a traditional BMS and a Light BMS ?
A traditional BMS generally requires heavy construction works and local servers. The Light BMS is 100% SaaS, requires no work, and installs quickly, making it ideal for existing commercial buildings.
Do I need to replace my equipment to install the Light BMS?
No. The Light BMS relies on an ecosystem of validated partner sensors and actuators. It integrates with existing equipment to extend their lifespan and maximize performance.
What benefits can I expect?
The Light BMS allows up to 40% energy savings. It also optimizes maintenance needs that reduce on-site interventions and speed up return on investment.
How does a deployment work?
The installation follows four simple steps: site pre-configuration through the portal, workshop preparation, on-site installation by a certified installer with the CEOS Connect app, then operation and optimization via the cloud portal.
Is the solution secure?
Yes. It complies with ISO 27001, RED2, and GDPR standards. Data is hosted in France and all communications are encrypted.
Does the Light BMS comply with the BACS decree and performance classes?
Yes. It enables Class A or B BMS depending on configuration, ensuring compliance with both the BACS Decree and the Tertiary Decree.
Are there training courses for getting started with the solution?
Yes. Quick training modules are available for operators and energy managers to make full use of the platform.
How to become an official Smart & Connective installer?
A certification program is available via the Rexel Academy. Trained installers can join the official network and benefit from full support.
Can I pair any device with the CEOS™ ?
No. Only validated and certified connected devices are compatible, to ensure security and performance. The list is available on our Help Center.
What are the typical deployment times?
A single site can be operational in a few hours, and a complete portfolio can be equipped in just a few weeks, without interrupting operations.
