What we do

The Chair for Urban Energy Transition is a partnership between the Universitat Politècnica de València and València City Council to move the city towards climate neutrality. It generates applied knowledge and turns it into tools and projects that public authorities, businesses and citizens can use.

Our work is organised into four lines that address the energy transition at different scales, from the city to the individual building, guided by a single conviction: technical efficiency and social justice go hand in hand.

Our lines of work

City Decarbonisation Strategies

We develop methodologies and plans to reduce urban emissions, promoting energy planning that is aligned with climate-neutrality objectives.

Energy Modelling and Simulation

We apply advanced modeling and simulation tools to analyze the city’s energy performance and assess the impact of different strategies and technologies.

Energy-Efficient and Smart Buildings

We research solutions to improve energy efficiency in buildings and promote the integration of smart management and self-consumption systems.

Dissemination, Outreach, and Knowledge Transfer

We promote training, awareness, and collaboration with administrations, companies, and citizens, facilitating the practical application of research results.

Other lines of work

UPV-City

The Chair has supported the UPV’s València 2030 mission by participating in the UPV Living Lab, a UPV laboratory committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2030.
