# Schneider Electric says Jupiter Hospitals is achieving up to 28% energy savings By MarketScale Newsroom · Published 2026-11-08 · Building Management on MarketScale Canonical: https://www.marketscale.com/industries/building-management/schneider-electric-says-jupiter-hospitals-is-achieving-up-to-28-energy-savings > Schneider Electric says its EcoStruxure platform is delivering up to 28% energy savings at Jupiter Hospitals, where HVAC is nearly 60% of energy use. ## Key points - When HVAC accounts for nearly 60% of a hospital's energy use, room-level temperature control is where the efficiency money sits. - The 28% figure needs a baseline before anyone uses it as a benchmark: by simple arithmetic, 28% of the HVAC load equals roughly 17% of total energy, while 28% of the whole bill would mean cutting nearly half of HVAC use. Jupiter Hospitals is achieving energy savings of up to 28% after deploying Schneider Electric's EcoStruxure Building Operation platform and SpaceLogic thermostats. That is according to a release the companies issued in early November 2026, carried by Energetica India, EPR Magazine and Business Standard. The target was obvious. HVAC accounts for nearly 60% of the hospital's total energy use. A hospital can't simply turn the air down to save money, because patient care sets the conditions. So the real question for the facilities team is how much energy can be clawed back without touching the conditions clinical staff depend on. ## Occupancy sets the setpoint The hardware layer is substantial. The deployment connects more than 400 SpaceLogic thermostats that adjust temperatures dynamically based on occupancy. From a central view, hospital teams can monitor more than 250 rooms across the campus and keep continuous visibility into energy consumption. Both counts are floors, not exact totals, but the thermostat count runs well ahead of the room count. That could mean some spaces have more than one control point. It would matter for anyone trying to scope a similar project from room count alone. The idea is plain. An empty room doesn't need the same setpoint as an occupied one, and across hundreds of rooms those small setbacks add up. The central view is what keeps the savings from wearing away, because a facilities engineer can spot consumption problems without walking the floors. For hospitals, room-level temperature control is where much of the efficiency money sits. Amit Sharma, Schneider Electric's vice-president for power products and digital energy, made a similar pitch. He said EcoStruxure Building Operation brings data, control and intelligence onto one connected platform, so hospital teams can reach decisions faster and with better information while keeping care settings safe and comfortable. He put reliability ahead of efficiency, though. "Hospitals rely on technology-enabled infrastructure that performs reliably every minute of every day," he said. That order is telling. In a hospital, a controls system first has to prove it won't fail at 3 a.m. Only then does the energy bill matter. Block Field According to the announcement, Jupiter Hospitals found energy consumption harder and harder to manage as its healthcare operations grew. Because HVAC is by far the largest load, the priority became improving efficiency while maintaining the conditions required for patient care. The deployment could serve as a test case for a group whose network is still growing. ## HEPA filters on the same screen The platform's scope also covers indoor air quality management in critical care settings. It tracks the status and condition of HVAC equipment and HEPA filters and helps hold air quality and temperature at precise levels. The companies tie that directly to patient safety, hygiene and comfort. Put those two functions together and the purchase looks different. The thermostats and controls that cut energy also watch the equipment critical care relies on. That suggests the case for building automation in a hospital rests on two arguments at once, one about the power bill and one about air quality. Neelesh Shinde, group chief technical officer and head of projects at Jupiter Lifeline Hospitals, framed it in the group's own terms. He said its "patient first philosophy extends beyond clinical care to every aspect of the hospital environment." He said the platform lets his teams see conditions in real time. In his account, that means quicker responses and better operational control, and it makes the setting safer and more comfortable for both patients and clinical teams. Those two goals also pull against each other, and that's the strongest objection to reading 28% as a campus-wide norm. Critical care spaces have to hold precise conditions whether or not a bed is filled. So occupancy-based setbacks likely have the most room to work in spaces where occupancy actually swings. The word "up to" in the headline figure is doing real work. > When HVAC accounts for nearly 60% of a hospital's energy use, room-level temperature control is where the efficiency money sits. ## Reading the 28 percent Some simple arithmetic on the release's figures shows the range. If the 28% is a cut in HVAC consumption, it works out to roughly 17% of the hospital's total energy. If it's 28% of total energy and the savings come from HVAC, the hospital would be cutting close to half of its HVAC load. Both are calculations, not reported results. But they mark the range a facilities director should keep in mind before using Jupiter as a benchmark in a capital request. The release also credits the savings to the deployment of EcoStruxure Building Operation and the SpaceLogic thermostats together. So the figure is best read as the result of the full system, sensors and central software included. Pricing only the thermostats would not reproduce it. Block Field ## One platform for a growing network "Hospitals are critical infrastructure, where technology, energy intelligence and operational resilience are essential," said Deepak Sharma, zone president for Greater India and MD and CEO of Schneider Electric India. He added that Schneider combines electrification, building automation and digitalisation to make energy management smarter. Utilities use the same critical-infrastructure framing. In a separate November 7 update, Tata Power said it now has 60 MWh of battery energy storage operating at Mahalaxmi, Saki and Mankhurd in Mumbai. That capacity is part of a 200 MWh, 10-location plan approved by the Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission in April 2025. One stated aim of the larger plan is faster restoration of power to critical infrastructure, hospitals included. Grid storage protects the supply arriving at a hospital. Building automation governs how efficiently the hospital uses it once it's inside. A hospital resilience plan would need to account for both. Schneider describes EcoStruxure Building Operation as an open, data-centric platform that integrates building systems into a single intelligent control centre. It provides real-time visibility and lets hospital teams manage building operations remotely. Remote management matters most when a group runs more than one site. One engineering team can then watch several campuses. The word "open" in Schneider's platform description carries the most weight for hospital groups with a mix of equipment from different vendors and different eras, because integrating existing systems usually decides whether a central control room works or turns into one more screen. Jupiter is building for scale. In the release, the group said technology plays a pivotal role as its operations expand, helping it build a more connected, efficient and resilient infrastructure. Shinde described the goal as "reliable, responsive and sustainable infrastructure behind every patient interaction." The signal to watch is a second Jupiter facility on the same platform, ideally with its savings reported against a stated baseline. ## Sources - [Schneider Electric Enables Smarter Energy Management at Jupiter Hospitals](https://www.energetica-india.net/news/schneider-electric-enables-smarter-energy-management-at-jupiter-hospitals) - [Schneider Electric partners Jupiter Hospitals for tech-led ...](https://www.eprmagazine.com/news/schneider-electric-partners-jupiter-hospitals-for-tech-led-patient-first-energy-efficient-campus/) - [Schneider Electric partners with Jupiter Hospitals to deliver a ...](https://www.business-standard.com/content/press-releases-ani/schneider-electric-partners-with-jupiter-hospitals-to-deliver-a-technology-led-patient-first-energy-efficient-campus-with-up-to-28-energy-savings-126110401635_1.html) Tags: Schneider Electric, Jupiter Hospitals, EcoStruxure Building Operation, SpaceLogic, hospital energy management, building automation, HVAC controls, indoor air quality, healthcare facilities, facilities management, energy efficiency, India --- Source: MarketScale, https://www.marketscale.com/industries/building-management/schneider-electric-says-jupiter-hospitals-is-achieving-up-to-28-energy-savings.
