A data-driven and sustainable hospital

Learn how IRCCS Galeazzi-Sant’Ambrogio optimizes resources and ensures patient safety through a cutting-edge digital infrastructure.

Digitalization and energy efficiency

The Galeazzi-Sant’Ambrogio Hospital, part of the San Donato Group, is the result of a partnership between Siemens and GKSD esco that uses smart technology to integrate research, education and healthcare. With environmentally friendly materials and a small physical footprint, the hospital is leading the way in sustainability.

To support this approach, the facility ensures high energy efficiency while remaining open to new digital solutions and services. This requires precise monitoring and management of energy consumption to reduce environmental impact and ensure responsible use of resources.

Results for a smart hospital infrastructure

1,600 electrical panels

Integrated into a single platform, the Desigo CC Building Management System centralizes control across the entire vertical hospital, addressing the complexity of modern healthcare infrastructure.

100% remote management

Desigo CC enables full remote management of energy systems throughout the facility, providing complete visibility, control, and continuous monitoring of performance and energy efficiency.

>1,000 tons CO₂ reduced annually

Through the partnership between Siemens and GKSD ESCO, the hospital minimizes its environmental footprint, ensures operational continuity, and cuts annual CO₂ emissions by more than 1,000 tons.

Data powers decisions

The Galeazzi-Sant’Ambrogio hospital is a unique example of integration: the Desigo CC suite coordinates mechanical, electrical, and safety systems modularly. The platform allows for real-time indoor condition adjustments, improving comfort for patients and staff while simplifying maintenance through an open and scalable architecture.
