SACE by Arfit: Building Automation and Control Systems for Energy Efficiency

The SACE by Arfit solution enables centralized management, monitoring, and optimization of all technical systems within a building. Developed to meet current legal and energy requirements, SACE ensures energy efficiency, comfort, operational safety, and regulatory compliance.

With the entry into force of Decree-Law no. 101-D/2020 and Ordinance no. 138-I/2021, the implementation of SACE systems has become mandatory in commercial and service buildings with HVAC systems ≥ 290 kW. Arfit provides complete, scalable solutions aligned with NP EN 15232-1:2020, ensuring high levels of energy efficiency.

What are Building Automation and Control Systems (SACE)?

SACE is a centralized Building Management System (BMS) that integrates and coordinates the different technical systems of a building, such as:

HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning);
Energy and electrical consumption;
Lighting;
Alarms and technical events;
Monitoring and analysis of energy performance.

Through an open and technological architecture, SACE reduces consumption, optimizes daily operations, and extends equipment lifespan, directly contributing to more efficient, sustainable, and future-ready buildings.

Benefits of Arfit SACE Systems

Proven reduction in energy costs;
Legal compliance with national and European legislation;
Continuous monitoring and intelligent optimization;
Improved thermal and environmental comfort;
Exemption from periodic inspections of technical systems;
Scalable solutions adaptable to new requirements;
