RRG Thermal Energy Engineering has created a Good Practice Guide as a result of the project "Analysis of energy efficient technologies for the sustainability of buildings".
We have begun with a first book on indoor air quality, ventilation, condensation and thermal insulation where you will find answers to the following questions:
- Is the air in my house healthy?
- When, how and for how long should I ventilate?
- How do I prevent the appearance of moisture on the walls?
- How can I protect my home from cold and heat?
We are already working on Book II, where we address issues such as "At night or when I am not at home, what is better, turn off the heating or turn down the thermostat?".
Access to Indoor Air Quality chapter
Access to Condensations chapter
Access to Envelope improvement chapter
Access to Heating System Use chapter from Book II
The National Agency for Evaluation and Accreditation (ANECA), an autonomous body attached to the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities, whose aim is to contribute to the improvement of the quality of the higher education system through evaluation, certification and accreditation of teaching, teaching and institutions, has interviewed Fco. Javier Rey Martínez as evaluator of the DOCENTIA and VERIFICA programs.
The interview has been published in volume 20 of the journal "ANECA al día".
The Consolidated Research Unit, CRU 053 Thermal Energy Engineering, of the Department of Energy Engineering and Fluidomechanics, of the University of Valladolid has acquired a magnetic field meter to evaluate radiation from different university centers, as one of the parameters to consider in indoor air quality, IAQ. This meter has been acquired through the company PCE ibérica, dedicated to the sale and distribution of measuring equipment, balances and laboratory.

The ASHRAE Spain Chapter has just constituted a Student Branch in the School of Industrial Engineering of the University of Valladolid, of which Dra. Ana Tejero González is responsible and tutor.
Student branches offer university students the opportunity to interact and make contact with members of their local ASHRAE chapter, attend workshops and technical sessions, participate in the production and translation of technical publications and be in contact with other students and other professionals in the sector.
As Ana Tejero comments: "It is a pleasure to act as a link with ASHRAE of students so active and interested in the sector. I am sure that I will also bring a lot of experience and I trust that this is just the beginning of an active group that, through visits, talks and other days, will help to promote the approach to the HVAC&R world of the rest of the students of the School of Industrial Engineering of the University of Valladolid".
The engineering student Sara Viñas, tutored by the researcher Ana Tejero, have developed together a very low energy consuming evaporative cooling system based on humid surface for conditioning outdoor spaces, being awarded with the Prometeo Prize 2019 of the University of Valladolid with the project entitled "Evaporative conditioning device for terraces on summer" and they are waiting to get the patent, in which also participates Eloy Velasco, for its commercialization.
