What this sheet covers

Sheet TER050 covers “Sistema de automatización y control para edificios del sector terciario (BACS).”. It is a standardised sheet under Spain’s CAE scheme: it defines the scope of the measure and the official method for quantifying final-energy savings when its conditions are met.

Operational summary

Who it is for

Hotels, offices, retail, healthcare and education buildings in the services sector that install or upgrade a building automation and control system (BACS/BMS).

What is installed

The control system is installed or extended to reach a higher BACS class under UNE-EN ISO 52120-1, covering HVAC, ventilation, domestic hot water and lighting control plus supervision functions.

Where the saving comes from

The saving comes from BAC efficiency factors: time scheduling, demand-based control, zone temperature control and consumption-drift detection cut energy use without replacing equipment.

How to apply it

Before matching a project to TER050, confirm that the baseline, implemented solution, dates, equipment or areas and evidence fit the scope in the PDF. Then apply its formula using traceable data and collect the required documentation.

Eligibility conditions

  • Services-sector building in operation with evidenced energy consumption.
  • Initial and final BACS classes documented under UNE-EN ISO 52120-1.
  • Effective class improvement (for example from D or C to B or A) for the affected services.
  • Reference area or consumption evidenced by invoices or the energy certificate.
  • Commissioning and parameter setting certified by the integrator.
  • Work carried out within the period accepted by the CAE scheme.

Calculation method

Final energy saving

Saving (kWh/year) = Σ (C_service × (f_BAC,initial − f_BAC,final))

C_service
annual consumption of the affected service (HVAC, DHW, lighting), in kWh/year.
f_BAC,initial
BAC efficiency factor of the starting class.
f_BAC,final
BAC efficiency factor of the class achieved.

Evidence to collect

  1. 01Technical report stating initial and final BACS class per service.
  2. 02Invoice for the system, sensors, actuators and commissioning, with proof of payment.
  3. 03Control point list and screenshots from the supervision system.
  4. 04Previous-year energy invoices or the building energy certificate.
  5. 05Commissioning certificate signed by the integrator.
  6. 06Proof of building ownership and the CAE assignment agreement.

Mistakes that get the application refused

These are the most frequent refusal grounds during application review. Avoiding them speeds up CAE validation.

  • Declaring a final BACS class without the functions actually deployed and configured.
  • Applying the saving to services the system does not control.
  • Using estimated consumption with no invoices to back it.
  • Installing hardware without schedules or setpoints, so consumption does not change.
  • Not keeping the point list or supervision evidence.

TER050: frequently asked questions

Is a connected thermostat enough for TER050?

No. The sheet requires a building automation and control system with the functions of the declared class under UNE-EN ISO 52120-1, not a standalone device.

Can it apply when an older BACS already existed?

Yes, provided the initial class is documented and the step up to a higher class is evidenced for the affected services.

Which consumption is used as the baseline?

The actual annual consumption of the controlled services, evidenced with energy invoices from the period before the works.

Does it work across several buildings of one chain?

Yes, but each building forms its own file with its initial class, final class and consumption data.

How long does the file take?

It depends on document availability. With a complete report, invoices and commissioning certificate, the technical review proceeds without further requests.
