Hospitals and clinics are among the healthcare facilities that need a proper Energy Management plan. Such buildings need to be energy efficient as they ensure uninterrupted operational services all year round!
In this case study, specially dedicated to health care facilities, discover how the Canis Veterinary Hospital managed to deploy an energy efficiency plan and save more than €23,000, with the help of Spacewell Energy and Audit Energia.
For many energy managers, especially those just starting out, planning and implementing energy efficiency projects can feel like being lost in a never-ending maze. In a tiger-infested jungle. During a lightning storm. Okay, maybe not quite so dramatic – but you get the picture.
The lengthy, complex and high-risk nature of energy efficiency projects is what compelled Texas-based energy manager Jeff Julia to help his fellow energy managers out: he decided to write a book about it. And not just your typical dry, boring energy management textbook, either. This award-winning work of fiction explores 6 situations in which any energy manager is bound to find themselves at some point in their career – and how to overcome them like an Alpha Energy Manager.
In this exclusive interview with DEXMA, hear from Jeff on what makes a winning energy efficiency project, which technologies fit where (including, yes, blockchain for energy), and how to minimise the biggest risk factors.
New month, the new edition of DEXMA Partner Spotlight! For this 5th edition, we’re excited to introduce Enertips, a full-stack energy consulting firm for business.
Enertips specialises in energy management and energy efficiency projects led by a multidisciplinary and dynamic team. Their energy efficiency projects have been carried out in a wide range of sectors, including industrial manufacturing, hotels and restaurants, education, sports facilities and retail chains.
Joining us for this Partner Spotlight interview is Dani Puigdomènech, co-founder and project director at Enertips. Read on for the full interview:
Thinking of jumping on the solar bandwagon now that prices have bottomed out and it’s cheaper than ever to generate your own energy? Bear with me for a moment and consider the following: are you putting the cart before the horse? As cliché as it may sound, any approach to energy management should be looked at holistically and not from an individual solution perspective, argues energy manager Damon Lapping of Green Logik.
Connecting a lightbulb to the internet seems overly cumbersome and complicated, not to mention ULTRA geeky:
Why pull a Sheldon and go through all that work when you can simply walk over to the wall and flip a switch? Most people don’t even want to fumble with their smartphones just to find their way to the bathroom. The truth is that the hassle may not be worth it for many of us. But what if you wanted to do more than physically flip that light switch yourself? In this special guest post, Wesley Faulkner of Facility Solutions Group (FSG) sheds some light on the business benefits of the energy IoT for better building performance.
From finding opportunities to save energy to getting buy-in from key stakeholders to facilitating incentives to help pay for energy efficiency measures, there is an energy management technology out there specifically designed to bring your energy costs down, affirms energy manager Jeff Julia of Energy Project Advisors.
You’ve heard the Big Data buzzword here, there and everywhere… but as an energy manager, how well do you understand the importance of data quality? Does energy data quality control really play a big role in your day-to-day work activities?
Here at Dexma we know that it’s important to take a much closer look at Big Data in energy management. That’s why interviewed one of the members of our energy data science team, Juan Carlos Fernández, who tells us the importance of energy data quality lies in the fact that “when it comes to making decisions, it can mean the difference between right and wrong” for energy managers.

For manufacturers to be competitive in the 4th industrial revolution, reducing production costs is key. One way to achieve this is by creating a solid strategy when it comes to energy management in industry 4.0.
In this special guest post, hear from Industrial Director Josep Centelles i Estévez, whose manufacturing company Gamo Outdoor managed to save more than 20% in annual energy costs.
Read on to find out how they did it:
Did you know that more than half of senior business managers have no idea how their companies buy energy? Ouch. And nearly 50% also confess to a “limited understanding” of how much energy costs their business, according to a recent YouGov survey of more than 750 senior executives across the UK.
It’s a brave new energy world out there. As energy supply and distribution are becoming more decentralised and renewable sources approach ubiquity, new actors are entering the energy value chain – including utility end customers who are becoming their own power producers. Do utilities still have a role in this disrupted energy value chain? Some […]
Welcome to the 4th edition of the Spacewell Energy (Dexma) Partner Spotlight! This month we are highlighting Norlys (formerly known under Eniig), the third-largest electricity supplier in Denmark. Eniig now Norlys, a word that means “united” in Danish, is also a cooperative, owned by nearly 400,000 members. The group was formed by a merger between EnergiNord, … Read more
Industrial energy efficiency is all the rage thanks to public support initiatives for “Industry 4.0”. But how does this trend translate into an actual energy management plan in the industrial sector? Is it possible to save energy in factories without a major investment? Get inspired by the TACSA success story, implemented by DEXMA partner 3ex4.
