Measure the air quality

Obtain a correlation between the increase in indoor air quality, by switching on ventilation, and the parameters for assessing the well-being and health of elderly people and thus demonstrate that these systems have a high impact on both health and comfort.

Indoor air quality study in Córdoba

This project is carried out in the Santa María residence and in a classroom of a nursery school.

Measurements of pollutants such as carbon dioxide and PM2.5 and PM10 particles have been measured. In addition, thermal comfort data is being recorded, such as temperature and relative humidity. Noise and lighting data are also acquired.

On the left is the room of the residence and on the right the nursery school classroom.

Ventilation system and airborne transmission

TRACER is a project to research the ventilation system influence on airborne transmission of human exhaled bioaersols. Cross infection risk evaluation is analyzed in hospital environments.

Dissemination of scientific knowledge of this Research Project has been carried out through Science and Technology outreach Spanish TV program Lab24.

We invite you to see a summary of the Research Project TRACER.

Exposure to Bioaerosol in hospital environments

This research is key to investigate the exposure to bioaerosols with an aerodynamic diameter between 0.3 μm and 10 μm, from the exhalation of people in hospital environments.

Bioaerosol emission from persons is simulated in our Research Lab by using injection of small particles into the breathing system of thermal dummies. Personal exposure to bioaerosol is analyzed under different ventilation system conditions.

Renewable and clean-energy technologies based on IEC and DW

Our Research Group has developed a new Renewable Air Cooling Systems based on desiccant wheel and an indirect evaporative heat exchanger.

A first prototype designed by our Research Group at the University of Córdoba has been built by Keyter Technologies company (Córdoba - Spain) and it has been experimentally tested at the facilities of the Andaltec Plastic Technological Centre (Martos - Jaén - Spain).

This is an example of technology cooperation of our Research Group with leader partners to develop clean-energy technology to cool buildings and industries.
