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

With the arrival of summer, hotels in Spain face one of their biggest operational challenges: high temperatures, maximum occupancy, and the demand to offer absolute comfort to their guests. In this context, energy consumption skyrockets, especially for 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 for competitiveness. At Edison Next, we have been driving the energy transformation of the hotel sector for years. We do this with solutions that ensure efficient business operations, such as the Building Management System (BMS), a technology that allows real-time monitoring and optimization of all building systems — HVAC, lighting, ventilation, electrical consumption, domestic hot water — from a centralized platform. This operational intelligence adapts parameters to actual occupancy and weather conditions, guaranteeing comfort without waste. Thanks to the BMS, hotels can, among other advantages, 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. The result is a better customer experience, less energy waste, and longer equipment lifespan. In the last year alone, our solutions have avoided more than 120,000 tons of CO₂, managed over 2,450 GWh of energy, and generated savings exceeding 170 GWh for companies across 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 the BMS, we implement efficiency projects in thermal production and DHW through the electrification of consumption, incident monitoring services, and energy optimizations throughout the building’s lifespan, all with financing mechanisms that require no initial investment. These solutions make it possible to advance in sustainability without compromising liquidity or taking on financial risks. In an increasingly demanding regulatory environment, anticipating is key. At Edison Next, we help our clients access incentives such as Energy Savings Certificates (CAEs), having already monetized more than 130 GWh in CAEs. Energy efficiency not only reduces costs: it can also generate additional income. In a market where customers value sustainability and energy prices demand optimization, having a strategic partner like Edison Next makes the difference. We put technology, experience, and investment at the service of a more competitive hotel model, prepared for the future.
