Two spanish research groups colaborate in the DeepSmart Project: GTE (University of Vigo) and ENEDI (University of the Basque Country).

GTE (Energy Technology Gruoup) is focused on the consolidation of research activity within the framework of thermal and energy engineering, becoming a reference in Spain and contributing to the technical and scientific development of Galicia with applications to renewable energies, industry and energy efficiency in building.

  1. Patented electrostatic system for capturing small particles emitted by combustion systems.
  2. Patented trigeneration system for heat, cooling and power production.
  3. CFD model developed internally for the simulation of the biomass combustion and gasification system which is currently being used by several international research groups.
  4. BCORE AND 3DVIEWER. Software integrating energy modelling and simulation, automated calibration and energy conservation measures, automatic monitoring and integration of meteorological data, 3D rendering.
  5. CFD simulation of the aerodynamics of the TALGO train to be deployed in Arabia.

ENEDI group (Energy in Buildings) was established in 2005 to mark the agreement signed between the Ministry of Housing of the Basque Government and the UPV/EHU, under which this group is responsible for the management and development of the Thermal Area of the Laboratory for the Quality Control in Buildings  (LCCE) of the Basque Government.

In the 2006 call ENEDI was recognized as Research Group at the UPV/EHU and in the 2009 call of the Basque Government the group was awarded aid as Research Group of the Basque University System, being recognized as Consolidated Group. After the call of 2015, ENEDI was recognized as a Type A research group.

The research lines of ENEDI contemplated energy efficiency in buildings, both in regard to the envelope and HVAC systems. The group is divided into five subgroups, each specializing in a different theme on Energy in Buildings.
