At Aiguasol, we are committed to energy innovation with B4heatIT, a project awarded the Green 2024 Grants from ACCIÓ, aimed at optimizing the management of heat pumps through a predictive control system. The goal is to develop and validate this technology at Bloc4BCN – Espai Cooperatiu, a leading example of cooperativism in Barcelona, to enhance its energy efficiency and reduce operational costs.

How does it work?

This intelligent system allows: 

✅ Optimizing the use of heat pumps based on geothermal and aerothermal energy, reducing energy consumption. 

✅ Integrating photovoltaic self-production and adjusting consumption to market prices, maximizing economic efficiency. 

✅ Improving user comfort through advanced thermal simulation models. 

✅ Contributing to the transition towards smart buildings, reducing dependence on fossil fuels. 

✅ Promoting employment in key sectors such as construction, engineering, and building management.

Why Bloc4BCN?

The building features a structure that utilizes its thermal inertia, enhancing climate control efficiency and reducing electrical consumption without compromising comfort. This makes it the ideal setting to test and perfect our system.

With B4heatIT, we are advancing towards decarbonizing the sector by integrating technology and sustainability to redefine the energy management of buildings efficiently and responsibly.
