BBVA has entrusted Edison Next with updating the control system to improve comfort and energy efficiency at its training campus in La Moraleja.

BBVA, one of the world’s leading banking institutions, has partnered with Edison Next, a control systems and energy services company that is a subsidiary of the EDISON energy group and the French giant EDF, to carry out the renovation of the Building Management System (BMS) at its Training Campus in La Moraleja. The BBVA Campus, strategically located in Madrid, encompasses a vast complex comprising dozens of classrooms and training spaces, a restaurant, a conference area and business center, and a residence with rooms for attendees from outside Madrid. This site, in addition to being a nerve center for BBVA’s activities, stands out for its size and complexity, making efficient management of its energy resources crucial. The BMS (Building Management System) migration project, which arises in response to the obsolescence of the pre-existing system, will ensure operational continuity and maximum performance of the campus facilities. The modernization of the installed system allows for efficient control of the air conditioning in all areas of the complex. Specifically, the system will leverage more than 30,000 control points distributed across the different buildings, providing a detailed view of facility operations in real time, enabling informed decisions and optimally adjusting facility operations to maximize energy efficiency and the comfort of workers and visiting users. Edison Next’s BMS solutions, which stand out for their ability to reuse existing infrastructure and focus on reducing energy consumption by up to 30%, are revolutionizing the management of commercial and corporate buildings. Thanks to advanced technologies and intelligent control strategies, these solutions are driving sustainability in the tertiary sector, which is responsible for up to 40% of energy consumption. “The renovation of the BMS system at the La Moraleja Campus not only reflects BBVA’s commitment to operational efficiency and environmental sustainability, but is also an example of updating pre-existing BMS systems to Niagara 4, a state-of-the-art technology focused on truly open systems, which integrates both with existing local controls and modern facility performance analytics services, with the aim of optimizing their maintenance and energy efficiency,” says José González, Senior IoT Advisor at Edison Next. “This project will serve as a benchmark for other companies, demonstrating how the blend of IoT technology, focused on obtaining data on the actual operation of facilities, and collaboration between companies allows progress towards a more sustainable and responsible future.”
