OBJECTIVES

• The proposed research group was born with the idea of ​​contributing from the architectural point of view to stop the growing deterioration of the environment, due to its relationship with the use of non-renewable energy in its process.

The field of action in its current maximum specialization is aimed at improving the efficiency of ventilation processes, which is the field in which we have had the greatest recognition. This does not exclude the integrating vocation of the initial group and its collaborators to resume lines of research that cover the entire energy process of the life of a new building, or what remains of an existing building. Specifically they would be: the architectural design itself due to its bioclimatic component; the types of materials to be used; the building execution process; its use and maintenance; and its demolition and waste recovery.

In any case, the research group has as its premise the practical application of all its studies, both at a professional, business or industrial level. Collaboration in regulations and pre-regulations with the administrations involved is also considered a priority objective, which already has significant experience. Likewise, it is considered very important to make users aware of the proper use of the conditioned spaces and their facilities through appropriate dissemination.

As for the members of the Group, it can be said that the current situation is one of absolute consolidation thanks to the increasing incorporation of new researchers from the School of Architecture itself, as well as the stable collaboration of doctors from the Schools of A Coruña, Barcelona, Madrid and Seville.

RESEARCH LINES
