How EcoMT and OTEA help you benefit from energy savings certificates

The Energy Savings Certificates (CAEs) allow companies to make their investments in energy efficiency profitable, converting savings into economic incentives. To maximize this benefit, it is essential to have the support of experts in the sector. 

At EcoMT and OTEA we provide you with the necessary technology to comply with the requirements of the TER050 factsheet of the Energy Savings Certificates (CAEs) system.

Our solution allows you to implement an automation and control system for buildings in the tertiary sector (BACS), in accordance with the UNE-EN ISO 52120 standard, so that you can subsequently opt for the generation of CAEs through a certifier and a delegated entity.

In addition, we provide you with all the necessary technical documentation so that your project can be validated in accordance with the criteria required in the sheet: control diagrams, performance report, images of work, operating records, etc.

1. Generation of energy savings through BACS Systems

EcoMT specializes in the implementation of Building Automation and Control Systems (BACS) in the tertiary sector, with an approach aligned with File TER050. This solution allows you to significantly reduce energy consumption in commercial and office buildings, generating quantifiable savings that can be certified as CAEs.

• Automation of climate control, lighting and air quality. The implementation of a BACS system allows these systems to be automatically regulated, ensuring their optimal operation and avoiding unnecessary energy waste.
• Optimization of consumption based on the occupancy and real needs of the building. Through sensors and data analysis, the system adjusts energy parameters based on demand, reducing consumption without affecting comfort or operation.
• Adaptation to the UNE-EN ISO 52120 standard to increase the level of building automation and maximize the return on investment. This regulation establishes a classification of the control system (A, B, C, D), depending on its complexity and energy management capacity. The greater the technological leap—for example, from an installation without a system (D) to a class A—the greater the certified theoretical savings and, therefore, the value of the associated CAE.

2. Certification and verification of energy savings

To obtain CAEs, it is essential to have an official validation of the savings generated. This process must be carried out by accredited verifying entities, ensuring that the data and calculations comply with the requirements established in the regulations.

• Carrying out pre- and post-energy audits: the initial conditions of the building are evaluated and the savings obtained after the implementation of improvements are documented.
• Preparation of detailed reports on consumption and savings: precise technical documents are generated that demonstrate the efficiency achieved with the measures adopted.
• Management of verification with certifying entities (ENAC): the administrative process is streamlined, ensuring that all documentation meets the necessary criteria to obtain the CAEs.

3. Digitalization of Energy Control with OTEA

OTEA is the technological platform developed by EcoMT for management and monitoring of energy consumption. Its use facilitates control, the detection of inefficiencies and the generation of reports for the certification of the savings obtained.

• Continuous monitoring of energy consumption and detection of anomalies. OTEA allows the performance of air conditioning, lighting and ventilation systems to be analyzed in real time, identifying opportunities for improvement.
• Historical data and comparison of consumption before and after improvements. The evaluation of the impact of the implemented measures is facilitated, optimizing future decision-making.

4. Advice on the CAEs market and savings monetization

Once the Energy Savings Certificates (CAEs) have been generated, they can be monetized by selling them on the market through agreements with Delegated Subjects, responsible for acquiring said certificates.

In our case, we act as the client’s technological ally, providing all the documentation and data necessary to justify the energy savings derived from the implementation of the BACS system, and thus guarantee the traceability, reliability and eligibility of the projects before the verifiers and Delegated Subjects.

• Technical and documentary support. We are responsible for generating graphic reports, operational data and all the necessary evidence in accordance with the UNE-EN ISO 52120 standard and the requirements of the TER050 factsheet.
• Collaboration with accredited Delegated Subjects. We have agreements with entities such as Acciona to channel the commercialization process of CAEs without friction for the client.
• Optimization of profitability. Although we do not directly mediate the purchase and sale, we support the client in making strategic decisions to maximize the profitability of the savings generated.

5. Regulatory compliance and access to subsidies

The CAE system is regulated by Royal Decree 36/2023 and by ministerial orders TED/815/2023 and TED/845/2023. Complying with these regulations is essential to guarantee the validity of the certificates and access possible incentives.

• We ensure that the BACS system complies with the UNE-EN ISO 52120 standard, a key requirement of the TER050 factsheet. At EcoMT we ensure that the automation solution implemented is aligned with the technical requirements established by the regulations, thus facilitating its eligibility to obtain CAEs.
• Access to complementary subsidies for energy efficiency projects. Public aid that can improve the return on investment is identified and managed.
• Compliance with national and European regulations on energy efficiency. It is guaranteed that the actions implemented are recognized and accepted within the CAE system.

6. Evaluation and design of energy efficiency strategies

Each building has unique characteriztics, so it is essential to carry out a prior analysis before implementing efficiency measures. EcoMT studies the savings potential and designs, together with the client and their team, personalized plans to maximize economic and energy benefits.

• Analysis of current consumption and savings simulations. The energy situation of the facility is studied and different improvement scenarios are projected.
• Identification of the most profitable efficiency measures. Those actions that offer the best balance between investment and savings are prioritized.
• Design of personalized plans to maximize the benefits of CAEs. Strategies adapted to the specific needs of each client are defined.

7. Reduction of operating costs

The implementation of energy efficiency measures not only has a positive impact on reducing consumption, but also improves the competitiveness of companies by reducing their operating costs and increasing their sustainability.

• Savings of up to 60% in energy efficiency investment thanks to CAEs. By monetizing the savings, companies can recover part of the investment made.
• Reduction of the energy bill without affecting the operation of the business. Improvements in efficiency allow reducing expenses without compromising the comfort or performance of the facilities.
• Greater sustainability and compliance with decarbonization objectives. Contributes to the reduction of emissions and compliance with environmental commitments.
