Thermal Comfort
Thermal comfort is the global condition of a person in which they wouldn’t prefer to feel neither more warmth or more cold; that is to say, it is a state of total physical and mental well being which expresses satisfaction [...]
Thermo-energetic Simulation of Buildings
The new computational tools allow the engineers and architects to analyze complex phenomena, like the heat transfer in buildings [...]
Heat Transfer
Since 2003, through research projects, the LabEEE has been developing studies in the field of heat transfer applied to the development of devices and measurement methodologies, aiming at [...]
Bioclimatology and Sustainability
The Bioclimatologia applies the weather studies (climatology) to the relations with living beings. A correct application of the bioclimatology’s concepts is the foundation for more sustainable projects. Sustainability is a global preoccupation which is questioning the current growth model [...]
