Roberto Sanz and Álvaro Corredera - Control systems: a new solution for low energy buildings

Energy generation and management technologies are both essential to optimise energy efficiency when designing new buildings

CARTIF III is a new building that forms part of an applied research institute, called the CARTIF Technology Centre, based in Valladolid, Spain. This building is singular. In addition to displaying all of the characteristics of a highly energy efficient building, it has a system of data collection and monitoring used to improve the optimal use of such facilities. Álvaro Corredera and Roberto Sanz, electronic industrial engineers from the energy division at the CARTIF Technology Centre, talks to youris.com about how energy efficiency systems work and their applicability within the context of the European-funded project DIRECTION designed to study buildings with a low energy consumption.
