AIEM - Arquitectura, energia i medi ambient
El grup de recerca AIEM està orientat a la investigació de l'arquitectura des del punt de vista mediambiental. La seva investigació considera tant els paràmetres ambientals que afecten el confort humà com la percepció, així com el possible impacte que les activitats de construcció poden provocar a les ciutats i al medi ambient. L'activitat que es duu a terme contempla diferents escales, des de qualitats arquitectòniques interiors i elements de construcció fins a espais públics i morfologia urbana. Seguint aquesta línia d'interès, el grup ha desenvolupat una àmplia investigació relacionada amb la integració de les energies renovables, el cicle de vida dels materials, la qualitat de vida, l'arquitectura bioclimàtica i altres camps d'arquitectura, energia i medi ambient. Aquest treball anterior, realitzat des de 1980, juntament amb l'experiència dels membres del grup, posa l’AiEM en una posició excel·lent per avançar en el camí correcte cap a una recerca d'alt nivell.

The AIEM research group is oriented towards the investigation of architecture from the environmental point of view. Its research considers both the environmental parameters affecting human comfort and perception as well as the possible impact that building activities can cause to cities and the environment. The activity carried out considers different scales, from architectural indoor qualities and building elements to public spaces and urban morphology features. Following this line of interest, the group has developed extensive research related with integration of renewable energies, materials life-cycle, life quality, bioclimatic architecture and other fields involving architecture, energy and environment. This previous work, carried out since 1980, along with the expertise of the group members, puts AiEM in an excellent position to progress in the right path towards a high-level research.
