Our work<\/h2>

The BETALAB research group is focused on innovation for sustainable comfort in the built environment and for efficient use of energy resources through teaching, research and technology transfer.<\/p><\/div> <\/div>

<\/div> <\/div><\/div> <\/div>
<\/i><\/a>
TEACHING<\/h5>

The BETALAB Group faculty members offer courses on several subjects within the Mechanical and Energy Engineering master programmes.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>

<\/i><\/a>
RESEARCH<\/h5>

The group\u2019s main research activities concern indoor environmental quality, acoustic comfort, and the efficient management of energy on a building and urban scale.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>

<\/i><\/a>
TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER<\/h5>

The BETALAB group is dedicated to sharing skills, knowledge, technologies, evaluation methods, and facilities to ensure that scientific and technological developments are accessible to institutions and companies.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>

BETALAB RESEARCH GROUP<\/h5>

Vision & Mission<\/h2>

Our vision is to provide knowledge on the efficient management of the built environment, improve living comfort, promote the optimal use of resources in buildings and the urban environment, and educate engineers and technicians to design technological systems in buildings in a conscious manner.\n<\/span>

\nOur mission is to undertake research and action focused on people\u2019s well-being, the preservation of natural resources through the reduction of energy needs and waste production, and the development of less polluting and more efficient technologies.<\/span><\/p> <\/div>

Research areas<\/h2>

   The BETALAB Research Group operates on four main areas of investigation:<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>

<\/i> <\/div>
INDOOR ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY <\/h5>

Actions to improve the actual, delivered indoor environmental quality in buildings through research, coordination, education and outreach.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>

<\/i> <\/div>
APPLIED ACOUSTICS & SOUND QUALITY <\/h5>

Research for the control of noise pollution and the optimization of the sound emission of machinery and equipment. <\/p> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>

<\/i> <\/div>
ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN BUILDINGS <\/h5>

Activities to reduce the energy consumption in buildings, considering both building envelope elements and systems integrated with renewable energy sources.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>

<\/i> <\/div>
URBAN ENERGY SYSTEMS <\/h5>

Evaluate the energy needs of districts and cities and propose efficiency-oriented actions to assist public and private decision makers.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
