In collaboration with the engineering company GRECCAT; verification during the design phase of the “Centre de Serveis Cal Gotlla” of 4.000 m², that the building complies with the Energy Demand of the new Spanish Technical Building Code (DB-HE1), using the official software LIDER.

This building will house some of the companies that will move to the new business district 'Granvia-L'Hospitalet' of Barcelona.

In collaboration with the engineering and consultancy agency ORD, verification during the design phase of compliance with the Energy Demand of the new Spanish Technical Building Code (DB-HE1)of two new apartment buildings, using the official software LIDER. These two buildings consist of 78 and 24 apartments (social housing) and will be built in the neighborhood Vasco-Mayacina in Mieres (Asturias).

Courses in which we have collaborated:

· Solar thermal energy course of 40 hours, organized for the 'Gremi d’Instal·ladors de Cornellà de Llobregat' in Cornellà de Llobregat (Barcelona).

· Photovoltaic installations course of 40 hours, organized in the training center Ingel in Barcelona.

· Solar thermal energy course of 40 hours, organized for the installation company Water Quality Center SL, in Sant Cugat del Vallès (Barcelona).

R+D project supporting the company Terso System in the design, testing and homologation of its new solar thermal collector, TERSO 200, which mainly will be distributed in the Spanish market and therefore its operating characteristics have to be optimized for use in the Spanish climate.

The proyect exists of the three following phases:

· 3D design and modeling of the collector and 2D drawings of the assembly that will be needed for its production.

· Testing of prototypes of thermal solar collectors in a custom made test set-up, equiped with a data adquisición system and evaluating its performance.

· Managing the homologation process in corporation with the authorized institutions. This homologation is required for being able to sell the product nationwide.
