Focus areas

Energy and Sustainable Energy Transition

We develop sustainable energy solutions for homes, companies, industries and territories through renewable energy, energy efficiency, hydrogen, storage and new energy vectors.

Select a service to know its function, objective, restrictions and general mathematical formulation.

Services

Diagnosis, audit and energy characterization

Function: establish how, when and for what purpose the energy is used.

Aim: prioritize measures that reduce consumption and costs without deteriorating the service.

Restrictions: safety, comfort, energy quality, budget, available data and operational continuity.
