Compliance hub

Compliance that runs on real data.
Not quarterly audits.

EPBD 2026 turned building automation into a legal requirement. BREEAM, LEED and Nordic Swan are the voluntary ratings on top. Explore reads your existing sensors continuously and produces the evidence each one asks for.

EPBD 2026 · BACS mandate

EPBD 2026 requires automated controls. Most buildings only half-comply.

Cross 290 kW of heating, cooling or ventilation plant and a Building Automation and Control System is now mandatory, not optional.

In scope
Over 290 kW
Rated output of the heating, A/C or ventilation plant. Not floor area or peak demand.
Deadline
29 May 2026
Passed. National law now, not a future directive. In-scope buildings without a compliant BACS are already overdue.
Next step
70 kW in 2029
From 31 December 2029 the threshold drops to 70 kW and pulls in far more of the stock.

What a compliant BACS must do

Four functions. Explore covers each one.

Monitor, log and analyse energy use

Explore logs every meter and sensor continuously. The log is your evidence. This is the metering backbone of energy management for commercial buildings.

Benchmark efficiency and detect losses

Most portfolios miss this

Explore baselines each system and flags efficiency drift. Capturing data alone doesn't meet this clause.

Detect faults and flag them to an operator

Faults reach a named operator in a ranked queue, with the context to act.

Communicate across systems and vendors

Explore reads BACnet, Modbus, OPC UA and the rest. One layer over a mixed-vendor estate.

Where most buildings fall short

A BMS controls the building. It rarely proves it.

Your BMS runs schedules and holds setpoints. It stays weak on continuous logging, loss detection and fault flags an operator can trust. That missing half is the half EPBD asks for, and Explore reads it straight off the BMS you already run.

How Explore reads your BMS

Voluntary certifications

BREEAM, LEED and Nordic Swan.

Voluntary ratings, not law. Explore collects the evidence from the same sensors and keeps it current.

All frameworks · one foundation

Same engine. Same sensors. Different evidence.

A modern building is in three frameworks at once. Explore reads the sensors once and produces the evidence each framework expects, in its own vocabulary.

Before you ask

Common questions

BREEAM, LEED and Nordic Swan want continuous, traceable evidence, not a spreadsheet assembled once a year. FrostLogic Explore reads your building's own meters and sensors and scores performance against the thresholds each scheme sets, as it happens, so the evidence is ready when the assessor asks. It exports on request, with every figure tied to a timestamp and a source. That is the difference between hunting for proof and downloading it.

Energy codes and certifications ask for the same thing: proof that the building performs, continuously, with data you can stand behind. Explore watches the building automation behaviour the EPBD and EN ISO 52120 (BACS) framework expects, benchmarks against the building's own history, and flags control drift early, before it becomes a finding. Every number traces back to a signal, so an audit turns into an export. It runs alongside your certification workflow rather than replacing it.
