BIOSCOOL – Promotion of bioclimatic solutions to achieve levels of adaptive comfort and free cooling in buildings

Climate change has a direct impact on ecosystems, making it a challenge to improve the resilience of infrastructures to extreme conditions. In this context, the adaptation of buildings to recurrent heat waves, rising temperatures and climate variability in regions with hot and dry summers is essential to guarantee thermal comfort and improve the energy efficiency of buildings. The BioScool project seeks to optimise the thermal comfort and energy efficiency of educational buildings through passive strategies and sustainable production systems. Through bioclimatic and ventilation strategies, nature-based solutions and innovative materials such as phase change strategies, the aim is to optimise the thermal behaviour of educational spaces, minimising their environmental impact, reducing the carbon footprint and guaranteeing adequate comfort conditions. The design of these strategies will be carried out in collaboration with the educational communities, based on the analysis of the initial conditions of the buildings based on the monitoring and thermal perception of the users. In addition, BioScool will encourage the transfer of knowledge and training of companies in the construction sector, promoting the adoption of solutions developed in the market to contribute to the creation of more sustainable and resilient buildings.
