Evolutionary vertical ventilation
The Spanish building code RITE of 1998 started to set a standard of how much outdoor air volume was required to guarantee the quality of indoor air in buildings and, as a result, forced ventilation systems become necessary. The study focused on how these new standards affected housing construction, and what kind of market alternatives were available, analyzing their performance and cost.
Heating systems in residential buildings in Spain
Characterization of the heating systems already in use in Spain, and contrast with the total park of buildings, with details of the type of fuel used and distinguishing between central and individual systems. Estimation of energy consumption for specific heating purposes (kWh/year). 10-year trends on the park of buildings, park of systems and fuel market shares.
Characterization of the demand for heating boilers and appliances for hot water production
Description of the most popular choices for boilers and hot water production equipment, including which are the most frequent setups with their average costs, usage profiles (frequency of operation, annual energy consumption), maintenance costs and lifetime of the devices.
The market for split air conditioning in Spain
Profile of the market of split air conditioning in Spain, measuring separately and according to a range of power sizes the market for single splits, multi-splits and VRF splits. Consumption sectors and providers are also identified.
Penetration of heating and air conditioning in the Spanish building stock
Starting with the total of built surface, it has been estimated how much is equipped with heating and air conditioning installation, in the cases of housing, hotels, offices, commerce, health and industry. Furthermore, it has been broken down into 6 different types of heating equipment and 10 of air conditioning.
Maintenance checklists for building facilities
In a building, the facilities are the components that have a shorter service life, so they must be subjected to a stricter maintenance discipline than the rest of construction elements. In order to perform an adequate preventive maintenance for the correct operation of the facilities of a building, these 75 checklists compile the operations to be carried according to the nature of the inspected equipment, indicating the recommended periodicity.
The market for mechanical ventilation in Spain
Market study on mechanical ventilation, measuring the market volume and value of a range of products such as centrifugal and axial fans, ventilation boxes, filters, exhausts and ducts of different materials. It splits the market according to sectors of demand (housing, commercial, industrial, renovation) and it also identifies which are the main market players.
Recommendations for controlling corrosion in water and heating installations
Recommendations for plumbing and heating projects, focusing on extending their life expectancy. They assist the selection of material according to the properties of water, and address the issues of sizing, routing and coating. With good practice guidance for execution and maintenance, including control, cleaning and repairs.
