Edison Next enables savings of up to 10% of annual energy consumption in buildings with IoT solutions.

Edison Next, an energy services company and subsidiary of the EDISON energy group and the French giant EDF, is committed to implementing a series of innovative solutions for optimal building management based on efficiency and comfort. With these, the company achieves significant energy savings in HVAC systems, specifically 10%. This is a fundamental aspect in the pursuit of efficiency and sustainability that the company has sought to lead through its extensive experience in the field and its technical expertise. According to estimates from experts and institutions such as the European Commission, the UN, or the International Energy Agency, each extra degree lowered in indoor air conditioning in buildings results in a 7% increase in cost, while raising the average temperature of a home by one degree can generate a 10% savings in energy consumption. Aware of this, Edison Next has implemented advanced control and monitoring strategies that ensure an optimal balance between comfort and consumption. In the words of Alejandro Martín, Head of Commercial B.U. Tertiary at Edison Next, “improving energy efficiency in a building not only means significant savings in its energy cost, but also contributes to a more ambitious factor such as climate change. Therefore, at Edison Next we work to provide the best solutions for property management and ensure they are efficient, without forgetting environmental quality standards. It is necessary to find the balance between energy efficiency and human comfort. At this point, developing smart buildings is key to achieving optimized energy consumption and a sustainable environment.” In this regard, efficient management of temperature setpoints becomes a fundamental pillar for achieving significant energy savings. Thus, the energy company has developed customized solutions for commercial, residential, and public buildings, optimizing temperature setpoints and maximizing the efficiency of HVAC systems. Through the technology developed by Edison Next, continuous monitoring and automatic adjustment are recorded, taking into account factors such as occupancy, weather, and building usage patterns. As the company explains, this intelligent and adaptive building management not only reduces consumption but also provides a comfortable environment tailored to user needs. “Among the energy solutions proposed, at Edison Next we promote intelligent building management through the integration of the building’s various systems into a single open platform. This yields benefits in energy efficiency and also in relevant aspects of property management, such as the operational efficiency of maintenance staff, the centralization and recording of aggregated system information, cybersecurity, and connection with third-party cloud systems and services. All of this allows properties with these systems to have a great competitive advantage, making them more attractive in the real estate market due to the automation of building operations control, which brings health, efficiency, sustainability, and comfort benefits for users,” explains Martín. As the sector seeks sustainable and efficient solutions, such as adjusting temperature setpoints, implementing well-tested efficiency actions like free-cooling, or replacing old equipment, Edison Next positions itself as a key strategic ally to implement higher value-added solutions that consider the building as a whole, reducing energy consumption, achieving human comfort according to the most current standards, and, on the other hand, minimizing environmental impact. With a solid approach and customized solutions, the company continues on its path to positioning itself as a specialist in the energy transition in Spain and reaffirms its goal of leading services and solutions that promote a more sustainable and efficient future in the field of building HVAC.
