Cover Story: The health system is usually the first energy consumer in the buildings stock, and energy consumption supervision, prediction, and improvement must be done on them first. In this research, the clusterization of buildings has been approved. The proposed methodology has been applied to the buildings stock of the health system of the Castilla y León region in Spain. The results show five different electrical consumption profiles associated with five reference buildings, allowing a significant improvement on the demand estimation compared to just using the classical indicators.
