The project is a pioneer in the region of Murcia and in the national
San Antonio Catholic University (UCAM) has introduced the Energy Efficiency Demonstrator (DEE), a project led by the Department of Telecommunications which is "to implement the new requirements that we demand a university degree engineering studies, specifically to engineering Telecommunications, Information Technology, Architecture, Road, which is working together in the deployment of renewable energy and energy efficiencies, "said the Dean Technical Engineering in Telecommunications Systems, Rafael Melendreras.
At the presentation ceremony involved the Vice President for Research, Estrella Nunez, Rafael Melendreras Vice Dean and Director of Energy Management Agency of the Region of Murcia (ARGEM) Teodoro Garcia.
The vicecedecano Rafael Melendreras, stressed that this is a national pioneering project "since in no case have come to combine the four sources of energy that we have to combine: solar photovoltaic, wind, geothermal and solar thermal. therefore, agencies important scientific significance as CIEMAT have shown a particular interest in our laboratory, our demonstrator, and have been proposed to work on research projects from now on. "
Moreover Melendreras explained that "as far suffered UCAM infrastructure necessary for students will practice in these matters, decided to start a project that will be a research laboratory at the same time would mean a demonstration space the other students of the University, as we believe that both renewable energy and energy efficient concern us all. Thanks to this infrastructure has been deployed several endowed with renewable energy sources, especially solar PV, wind, geothermal, and solar thermal, which provide a range of facilities to the students and to recharge electric bicycles, motorcycles, laptops, also thanks to the energy produced can illuminate a part of the university.
