A smart neighborhood in Vitoria-Gasteiz
The energy model in housing, neighborhoods and cities is slowly changing and Mondragon Unibertsitatea is actively participating in several pilot tests. One of them has been the transformation of the Coronación neighborhood in Vitoria-Gasteiz. Aligned with the strategy of smart cities without C02, the European project SmartenCity has implemented an action plan: more than 300 houses in the neighborhood have been termally isolated, a geothermal power plant has been installed, a monitoring system has been created and the electric bus line has also been incorporated. Energy Engineers can make contributions in different areas and Mondragon Unibertsitatea is fully involved in this type of real innovation projects.
The possibilities offered by the sea from an energy point of view
Professor Markel Peñala explains in this Teknopolis session the possibilities offered by the sea from an energy point of view, as well as the possibilities for Basque industry to be at the forefront in the marine energy sector. Markel is a lecturer and researcher at Mondragon Unibertsitatea and works with several companies and institutions on research and transfer projects related to wind energy.
