Low-carbon building systems and the simulation of district heating networksUPPA-Nobatek Joint Team
The joint research team with Nobatek focuses on urban planning and low-carbon materials, under the scientific leadership of Christian La Borderie (SIAME) and Jean-Michel Reneaume (LaTEP).
The main work carried out focuses on the development of:
- Design and decision-making tools for the implementation of district heating networks,
- Low-carbon construction materials and systems (bio-based and geosourced).
Research laboratories
Laboratory of Engineering Sciences Applied to Mechanics and Electrical Engineering (SIAME), Laboratory of Thermal Engineering, Energy and Processes (LaTEP), Computer Science Laboratory of the University of Pau and the Pays de l’Adour (LIUPPA).
Current projects
- Réseau concept: Design optimisation tool for 4th-generation district heating networks
- SCAN2DATA: Accelerating urban development project processes by optimising data acquisition
