Technological innovation advances at a pace that rarely lets up, and when it is combined with sustainability, projects emerge capable of transforming the way we understand energy efficiency. In Alcalá de Henares, the Moeve Innovation Center has become the scene of one of those trend-setting cases. There, the collaboration between Getronics and Moeve has given rise to a Digital Twin that is already achieving concrete results in savings and emissions reduction.
The project not only demonstrates how digitalization can optimize resource management, but also how artificial intelligence is beginning to play an essential role in the transition towards a cleaner and more responsible energy model.
A smart model for sustainability
The Digital Twin developed by both companies combines artificial intelligence, 3D modeling and advanced analytics to create a virtual replica of the Innovation Center building. This model allows energy consumption to be monitored in both common areas and laboratories, offering a complete and dynamic view of the building’s behavior.
Through the geolocation of consumption and the integration of data in real time, the tool detects usage patterns, identifies possible anomalies and facilitates predictive simulations. Thus, those responsible can anticipate future scenarios or evaluate the impact of changes in operating conditions without having to physically apply them.
“With this collaboration, Getronics reaffirms its commitment to sustainability, offering solutions that improve the energy efficiency and environmental conditions of buildings and infrastructures. Through our Digital Twin, part of the digital efficiency portfolio for smart spaces, we help create more productive, comfortable and environmentally responsible environments,” explains Carlos Álvarez, Head of Smart Spaces at Getronics.

Monitoring and analysis in real time
The core of the project lies in its ability to collect and analyze real-time information on energy consumption. Each device, air conditioning system or laboratory equipment is registered in the virtual model, which allows consumption to be associated with specific areas and obtain a granular view of spending.
In addition, the Digital Twin includes the possibility of simulating different use scenarios. For example, you can evaluate how energy demand would vary by changing operating hours, lighting or ventilation, helping to optimize resources without compromising comfort or productivity.
“Once the data is in the Digital Twin, we can generate simulations and analyze the impact of possible changes in consumption, evaluating their convenience before applying them,” adds Álvarez. This predictive capacity, driven by AI algorithms, makes the system a key tool for making strategic decisions regarding sustainability.
Measurable impact on efficiency and emissions reduction
The results of the project are tangible. Since its implementation, Moeve has managed to reduce the center’s energy consumption by 500,000 kWh annually. This decrease also translates into a reduction of approximately 130 tons of CO₂ per year, reinforcing the company’s commitment to decarbonization.
The early alerts generated by the system have made it possible to detect deviations and act proactively, which has optimized energy management and reduced operating costs. In turn, the information obtained has facilitated the definition of more precise strategies to improve the efficiency and sustainability of the building.
A replicable model for the industry
Beyond the immediate results, the Getronics and Moeve Digital Twin is consolidating itself as a reference model for other organizations seeking to apply artificial intelligence to sustainable management. Its integration with advanced analysis solutions and its focus on the efficiency of smart spaces make it a tool adaptable to different corporate and industrial environments.
The candidacy of this project for the enerTIC 2025 Awards highlights the role of digitalization as a driver of change towards a greener economy. In a context in which buildings are responsible for nearly 40% of global energy consumption, initiatives like this demonstrate that technology can be an essential ally to reduce emissions and optimize resources.
