Some of the most representative buildings located in Mediterranean / warm climates will be presented by our colleagues. The event will be held in English and will last for about 3 hours in the afternoon, including some networking time.
Study Tour
A technical tour will be held in Monday afternoon, to Blood and Tissue Bank of Catalonia (BST) building (see location). Architects and building users will guide us through this award-winning building which is still being under improvement via better energy control processes. The BST is a reference centre for processing blood and human tissues, and also a public stem cell bank. It is been conceived as a low demand and high energy efficiency building, with an expected 87% reduction in the consumption of air conditioning.
Please consult panel 1, and panel 2 for more information.
