DISTRICLIMA will supply energy to the future Diagonal-Besòs Campus

DISTRICLIMA has signed with the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya the supply contract for the first three buildings of the future UPC university campus. The huge university complex -currently under construction on a piece of land situated on the waterfront, on the right bank of the Besòs river between Taulat Str, Sant Ramon de Penyafort Str  and the Ronda- will consist of different buildings of educational use, research and technology transfer, among other uses.

The UPC will occupy the first three buildings, whose commissioning is planned for next year, and are part of the space of the campus, which will cover an area of 148,266 square meters of land.

The properties included in this supply of heat and cold are building A (intended primarily for teaching), C (primarily aimed at UPC research groups in energy and the Institute for Energy Research of Catalonia - IREC) and I, intended primarily for research in Chemical Technology, Materials and Biomedical.

The DISTRICLIMA energy supply to the new Campus joins other buildings connected to the network, as the Audiovisual Campus Universitat Pompeu Fabra, the UOC building and even some other property of the UPC Foundation located in the technological district 22@.

The utilization of the heat from the incineration of solid urban waste in the nearby TERSA waste-to-energy plant is the main vector of DISTRICIMA’s efficiency and also a local model of intelligent energy management, produced with residual local resources to supply local consumption.
