Quirón Hospital Group maximises energy
savings with EcoStruxure approach
Leading Spanish healthcare provider engages Schneider Electric
for intelligent hospital infrastructure
Efficient and
optimised
energy usage
is expected
to reduce the
hospital’s
ongoing
operating
expenses by
up to 38 per cent
With 1,230 employees, 110 doctors, and 760
beds, the Quirón Group is one of the largest and
most respected private hospital groups in Spain.
Quirón’s goal is to provide reliable, cost-effective,
and modern hospital facilities, while ensuring
comfort and safety for patients and staff.
To help Quirón achieve this goal for its hospital
in Madrid, Schneider Electric implemented
an integrated hospital infrastructure solution
based on its EcoStruxure architecture.
By combining control and management of
HVAC, security, power, lighting and supervisory
systems onto one open platform, Quirón can
monitor and control energy costs while improving
the quality of patient care and providing a safe
and secure hospital environment.
Building management controls for HVAC
and lighting, such as zone scheduling, night/
unoccupied setback, and optimum start/stop
help to create a comfortable, energy-efficient
environment. For example, HVAC comfort
settings are automatically adjusted at night
and when rooms are vacant. This helps Quirón
reduce energy waste and operations costs.
The benefits of the Schneider Electric solution
include a centralised view of energy use and
surveillance which improves security and
simplifies management and maintenance.
Double digit capital and operations
cost savings
The EcoStruxure approach has resulted in
immediate, up-front savings for Quirón. In
comparison with a traditional, non-integrated
approach, capital expenses were reduced
by about 20 per cent thanks to reduced
commissioning and cabling. In addition,
efficient and optimised energy usage is
expected to reduce the hospital’s ongoing
operating expenses by up to 38 per cent.
A Schneider Electric project manager served
as Quirón’s single point of contact to mitigate
risk and keep the project on time, on budget,
and on track. Now, a flexible EcoStruxure for
healthcare solution will allow Quirón to easily
and cost effectively grow their hospital, while
keeping integration costs to a minimum.
