Energy efficiency: the key to hotel success this summer with Edison Next

With the arrival of summer, hotels in Spain face one of their greatest operational challenges: high temperatures, maximum occupancy and the demand to offer absolute comfort to their guests. In this context, energy consumption soars, particularly in air conditioning. Today, in an environment of tight margins and growing environmental awareness, energy efficiency is no longer an option — it is a decisive factor of competitiveness. At Edison Next, we have spent years driving the energy transformation of the hotel sector. We do so with solutions that guarantee efficient business operation, such as the Building Management System (BMS), a technology that enables real-time monitoring and optimization of all building systems — air conditioning, lighting, ventilation, electricity consumption, domestic hot water — from a centralized platform. This operational intelligence adapts parameters to actual occupancy and weather conditions, ensuring comfort without waste. Thanks to BMS, hotels can, among other benefits, automatically adjust the temperature in empty rooms, reduce consumption in common areas during low-activity hours, and detect leaks, breakdowns or inefficiencies before they impact operations — resulting in a better guest experience, lower energy waste and a longer useful life for equipment. In the past year alone, our solutions have avoided more than 120,000 tonnes of CO₂, managed more than 2,450 GWh of energy and generated savings of over 170 GWh across companies in multiple sectors. We currently manage more than 2,000 buildings throughout the country, collaborating with hotel chains that are committed to a more efficient and profitable energy model. In addition to BMS, we implement thermal production and domestic hot water efficiency projects through consumption electrification, incident monitoring services and energy optimizations throughout the useful life of the building — all with financing mechanisms that require no upfront investment. These solutions allow progress in sustainability without compromising liquidity or taking on financial risk. In an increasingly demanding regulatory environment, anticipating change is key. At Edison Next, we help our clients access incentives such as Energy Saving Certificates (CAEs), having already monetized more than 130 GWh in CAEs. Energy efficiency not only reduces costs — it can also generate additional revenue. In a market where customers value sustainability and energy prices demand optimization, having a strategic partner like Edison Next makes all the difference. We put technology, expertise and investment at the service of a more competitive hotel model that is prepared for the future.
