Edison Next implements climate control management and monitoring systems in hospitals.

The importance of climate control in hospitals is indisputable. Proper climate control can help improve air quality, reduce the risk of infections and respiratory diseases, and enhance patient recovery. Additionally, having climate control management and monitoring systems in hospitals can offer multiple benefits, both for hospital operations and for energy efficiency and the environment. In this regard, climate control management and monitoring systems allow for precise control of temperature and humidity in different areas of the hospital, ensuring appropriate levels for each zone based on the needs of patients and staff. Furthermore, these systems can detect problems in the climate control system before they become major issues, preventing service interruptions and minimizing repair costs. Another important aspect of having the right climate control management and monitoring systems in hospitals is the reduction of energy consumption. Their implementation enables the optimization of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems in the hospital, which can significantly reduce energy consumption. Likewise, they can integrate renewable energy sources, such as photovoltaic energy, into the hospital’s climate control system, further reducing the hospital’s carbon footprint and promoting the transition to cleaner, more sustainable energy. They also allow for real-time monitoring and control of energy use, helping to minimize energy costs and reduce the hospital’s carbon footprint. In this vein, the tertiary sector business unit of Edison Next España offers solutions for hospital infrastructure by incorporating control systems that, through the use of data, enable facility efficiency and improved user comfort. A top-tier private healthcare corporation in Spain, with significant geographic expansion in recent years, has trusted Edison Next España for the installation and commissioning of a building management system (BMS) for a group of hospitals and clinics spread across the country, such as those in Móstoles, Barcelona, Toledo, Rivas, among others. With this control system and thanks to more than 15,000 data points collected across 50 controllers, it enables the management and monitoring of climate control systems. This includes everything from heating and cooling production, as well as solar for domestic hot water; through more than 190 air handling units (60 operating room routes) and 1,800 fan coil units, down to terminal climate control elements. The institution has an environmental improvement program aimed at proper waste treatment, reducing emissions to the atmosphere and water, and more rational use of energy and raw materials.
