EcoRubCool project aims to address this gap by developing a novel rubber material to produce an eC effect viable for an efficient heating/cooling/refrigeration technology. Our method involves the selection and processing of natural rubber-based materials, using renewable and recycled fillers which will specifically serve as enhancer of the eC effect, and to increase the thermal conductivity, mandatory to transfer the heat/cool from the materials surface to an external media.

Between the cut-in and rated speeds, the new generation of horizontal axis wind turbines will have implemented active flow control technology to reattach the boundary layer in all airfoils along the blade and under all WT operating conditions. The blade tip vortices will also be removed/minimized using the AFC technology. Minimizing vortical structures along the blade and tip will increase turbine power, reduce dynamic forces and noise, and allow for closer positioning of consecutive turbines.

The project is for an External Thermal Insulation Construction System with green finishing. The superimposition of thermal insulation material layers acts as a rooting substrate, allowing water and nutrients to channel through its capillary interior. Even though the minimum water required by seasonal plants is present, the thermal insulation façade cover can preserve the building's good thermal behaviour.

This hybrid vertical wind turbine combines wind and solar energy, designed for semi-urban environments. Based on the Darrieus model, it incorporates blades with solar panels and a cylindrical mirror that maximizes solar radiation collection. The panels are oriented to optimize energy during peak hours. The energy generated is stored in batteries or connected to the grid, integrating two renewable sources in a single efficient and sustainable device.

The objective is obtaining a valuable resource and bioenergy from local agroindustrial wastes (e.g. grape and olive pomace) by first, obtaining a natural dye for textile dyeing processes and, then obtaining biogas through anaerobic digestion.
