Action that will not only increase biodiversity in urban enviroments, but will also improve energy saving in the building. The second of the projects on which the doctoral students will work will be “Eficampus: Solar Self-consumption and Energy Efficiency”. The aim is to carry out a photovoltaic solar installation for different telemetry and control devides installed on one of the roofstop of the School for research purposes. This installation will also use as a case study to compare and validate some parameters of the simulation process of solar installations.
