Case Study: Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau Private Foundation reduces energy costs by 28% with Spacewell Energy

Energy Management in Historical Buildings and Monuments Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau Private Foundation

Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau Private Foundation, a UNESCO World Heritage hospital complex in Barcelona, needed a better way to manage energy data after refurbishing 15 buildings and installing more than 140 electricity, thermal, and water meters. Manual tracking was time-consuming and made it difficult to compare consumption, spot waste, and identify differences between similar buildings, so the foundation turned to Spacewell Energy and its Dexma Energy Management System.

Spacewell Energy implemented Dexma Analyse as a centralized tool for logging, visualizing, and analyzing meter data across the site. The platform helped detect abnormal usage, leaks, and operational differences, leading to changes in schedules and protocols, better optimization of nights and weekends, and repair of faults. The impact was immediate: the foundation saved €76,000 in the first half of the year, cutting energy costs by 28% year over year.
