Smart Energy Management: A Case Study of BTC City Ljubljana

BTC City Ljubljana, one of the largest business, shopping, entertainment, recreation and cultural centers in Europe, faced a significant challenge due to its high energy consumption. The center's energy needs were comparable to those of urban centers, due to its large number of facilities, wide area, and high consumption of electricity, water, and heating. The management recognized the economic necessity of energy management and sought to reduce energy consumption and costs, as well as subsequent CO2 emissions. They aimed to implement an energy management (EM) system for its multi-purpose facilities, in line with the ISO 50001 standard, which supports organizations to conserve resources and tackle climate change. The challenge was to control the consumption of individual energy products and monitor consumption by individual end-users, requiring tools for easy data collection, performance analysis, and production of automated reports.
