Bioclimatic Building (award Eurosolar 2005)

Introduction to our institution

Introduction to our institution

☼ Workshops/laboratories at our school☼ Bioclimatic Building  This building was built according to all bioclimatic

criteria and  incluyes the three main cornerstones defining an environmentally friendly building:    

– Energy saving: the building is self-sufficient and has a zero-energy balance;

– Renewable energies integration: the building is equipped with hydrothermal, wind thermal and photovoltaic solar systems;

– Healthy building: use of renewable and reusable building systems and materials, with low production and waste generation environmental impact.

• The installations and building elements to achieve those principles are: solar thermal panels, cooling by sound sensor, radiant floor and strips, great storage heater, greenhouse, trombe wall, solar thermal shunt and high thermal inertia materials

Introduction to your institution

☼ International experience– Cenifer in Guantanamo

• Revision of photovoltaic instalations• Proposal for a new centre in renewable energy for

south America
