The access criteria, the expenditure base and the timetable must be checked in the official documentation before including it in the financing plan.
The energy savings certificates scheme (CEE) lists the “BAT-TH-116 — Système de Gestion Technique du Bâtiment (GTB) — Coup de Pouce Tertiaire” scheme for installing a building management system (GTB/BMS) in the tertiary sector. The source entry notably states: a CEE operation sheet for installing a class A or B building management system in a commercial building. It includes the “Coup de Pouce Tertiaire” bonus, which multiplies the kWh cumac by a factor depending on the system class and building type, and is open notably to hotels, care homes and clinics. The €75,000 amount listed must be checked and is not a guaranteed CEE bonus. The value depends on the building, the system installed, the criteria in force and the offer of the obligated party or its delegate. To decide whether this aid can really contribute to your project, compare the planned costs with the rules in force and confirm the company’s eligibility before any commitment.

Who can apply
The scheme is listed by the energy savings certificates scheme (CEE). Eligibility depends on location, the nature of the activity and the criteria in the rules in force. The description of the aid notably states: a CEE operation sheet for installing a class A or B building management system in a commercial building, including the “Coup de Pouce Tertiaire” bonus that multiplies the kWh cumac according to the system class and building type. Have the criteria on size, age, status and any excluded sectors confirmed before applying.
Eligibility conditions
BAT-TH-116 concerns building management in the tertiary sector. Check the class and functions of the system, the systems covered, the version of the sheet and any inspection requirements. The ministry’s official page states that BAT-TH-116 moved to a different inspection competence group on 1 October 2026: the application must therefore be examined under the rules applicable on its date.
What the scheme covers
For this project, document the following operations precisely: installation or upgrade of a building management system controlling the systems concerned — heating, domestic hot water, cooling/air conditioning, lighting and auxiliaries — according to the applicable version of BAT-TH-116. For each item, attach a separate quote or a cost breakdown, the technical characteristics needed and an explanation of the link with the aid’s objective. Costs already incurred, recurring subscriptions or items not explicitly provided for must be validated before being included.
Amount and funding terms
The €75,000 amount listed must be checked and is not a guaranteed CEE bonus. The value depends on the building, the system installed, the criteria in force and the offer of the obligated party or its delegate. A reference cap is neither a flat rate nor a promise of award. The amount depends on the costs accepted, the funding rate and the funder’s decision. Where the aid is paid as a CEE bonus, the amount may notably depend on the technical characteristics, the site’s situation and the offer of the obligated party or its delegate. Check the calculation and payment conditions before counting it as income in the budget.
How to apply
Before committing, have the system’s functions and target class described in the specifications. Obtain the CEE offer and have the installation’s eligibility, the need for a third-party inspection and the documents to produce confirmed. Keep the study, plans, invoices, settings and proof of commissioning.
Timeline
Check the version of the CEE operation sheet in force and the written offer from the obligated party or its delegate before committing to the operation. The dates and technical criteria that apply are those in force on the commitment date.
