Tertiary Sector

The tertiary sector – which includes service activities such as offices, shops, hotels, educational establishments, clinics, etc.- is responsible for a significant proportion of Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, mainly due to energy consumption for heating, cooling, lighting and electrical equipment. The energy transition aims to reduce these emissions by adopting cleaner energy sources and improving the energy efficiency of buildings and installations. GreenYellow is the partner you can trust to respond to these two values. We operate across the entire energy value chain for commercial buildings offering a comprehensive approach. We analyze, design, finance, deploy and manage energy installations, while guaranteeing the savings achieved. Our mission is to support the tertiary sector in its energy transition, taking into account the multiple and crucial issues at stake, given their essential role in energy consumption and environmental impact.

Improving energy efficiency

The tertiary sector can achieve significant energy savings by improving its energy efficiency. This involves using more efficient technologies, advanced energy management systems and implementing eco-responsible practices to reduce overall energy consumption. Enhancing the energy value of sites is at the heart of GreenYellow’s business model, which supports clients tertiaires with the solar photovoltaic solutions of our #SHIFTEfficiency offer and the energy services of our #SHIFTEnergyServices offer, by intervening on all utilities (heating, cooling, lighting, HVAC, etc.), and by adapting our working conditions to establishments welcoming the public. This enables the tertiary sector to move towards a more sustainable and energy-efficient model.

Development of renewable energies

To reduce its dependence on fossil fuels, the tertiary sector needs to make a greater commitment to the adoption of renewable energies, such as solar power. GreenYellow has been a recognized expert in decentralized solar production since 2007, thanks to its #SHIFTProduction, offer, proposing turnkey contracts and tailor-made for rooftop photovoltaic solar power plants, or solar parking lot shading, for example.

Technological innovation

Energy transition in the commercial sector requires the development and adoption of new energy technologies, such as energy storage, smart grids and energy management solutions. GreenYellow stands out for its proactive approach to energy transition, thanks to its platform of decarbonization offers that can be combined or activated individually: #SHIFTProduction for solar photovoltaic, #SHIFTEfficiency for energy efficiency, #SHIFTEnergyServices for energy services, #SHIFTMobility for charging stations. GreenYellow goes even further by proposing a micro-grid model thanks to its partnership with Schneider Electric. This initiative aims to promote sustainable, efficient energy management for commercial buildings.

Regulatory compliance

Many countries are introducing stricter regulations to encourage energy efficiency in buildings and reduce carbon emissions. With GreenYellow, alongside players in the commercial sector, our clients are assured of scrupulous compliance with current local regulations, and of staying abreast of developments to maintain a high level of compliance. Our expertise has been recognized since 2007, and we keep abreast of the latest developments, enabling us to adapt our solutions to ever-changing standards and guarantee compliance with legal energy requirements. Our clients can count on GreenYellow to support them in this energy transition and to ensure that their energy management complies with the most stringent standards.

Cost and investment management

The energy transition can also offer the tertiary sector economic benefits in terms of long-term energy cost reduction. However, this involves significant initial investments. By partnering with GreenYellow, our tertiary clients benefit from turnkey contracts, without financial risks, as they are entirely managed and financed by GreenYellow. This allows actors in the tertiary sector to accelerate their energy transition in a comprehensive, transparent, and efficient way.

Awareness and commitment

Promoting a culture of sustainability and environmental responsibility is essential to the success of the energy transition. This involves a significant amount of awareness-raising and commitment on the part of service sector stakeholders, including business owners, property managers, building occupants, energy solution providers, etc.

The energy transition for the commercial sector represents both a major challenge and a source of numerous opportunities to reduce environmental impact, achieve energy savings and promote technological innovation. A collective, concerted approach is needed to meet this challenge and achieve long-term sustainable development objectives. By calling on the expertise of  GreenYellow, the service sector can tackle this transition effectively and successfully, and actively commit itself to a more sustainable future.
