Energy dynamic modelling simulation of new and existing buildings

A Spanish technology center, funded in 1994, offers transversal, integrated and innovative solutions to companies to improve their processes, developments, systems and products. It operates in five economic sectors: i) industry, ii) energy and environment, iii) construction and infrastructure, iv) agro-food, and v) health and quality of life. Energy efficiency aims to reduce the amount of energy required to deliver services and products. Improvements in energy efficiency are generally achieved by different approaches: adopting a more efficient technology, optimizing production process, or reducing energy losses. This last approach include the building efficiency at the time of designing, constructing and upgrading buildings. The Spanish technology center has an extended experience in evaluate and optimize processes and formulations in buildings energy efficiency. The center has developed new techniques that improve the calibration and validation of the energy efficiency dynamic models, applicable to new and existing buildings. This advance improves the models that provide more reliable and robust results allowing to implement measures that increase, more effectively, the efficiency of the buildings and its systems. The technology center offers its techniques and know-how to companies, architectural studios and public administrations interested in: - Investing in innovative solutions to improve the energy efficiency of its buildings. - Obtaining accurate and detailed information about energy demand and energy consumption, and dimensioning the systems of the buildings. Partners sought: - For Technical Cooperation agreement are companies, especially construction firms, architectural studios or public administrations interested on energy efficiency of buildings. - For research cooperation agreement are entities (companies, universities or research and technology centres) interested in shaping a project about developing new products or technologies for future calls in Horizon2020 in the field of energy efficiency.
