SETH is the Spanish acromin of “Comprehensive structural monitoring system for buildings based on Holistic Technologies”

This project began in early 2013 and will run for two years.

The consortium is composed of: UPM (Technical University of Madrid), CSIC, Isoluz-Corsan, Geocisa and FCC

The objective of this project is:

  • Reduce the impact of vibrations in buildings and people in the environment in which they are founded, through continuous monitoring and quick structural diagnostics.
  • Assess the damage with a high level of accuracy to facilitate decision-making related to the integrity of the building and its need for evacuation and / or rehabilitation.
  • Promote the implementation of the system in the residential area by its easy handling and low cost market.

For this project we are using a set of techniques and devices, some developed in-house and other third parties:

  • Wireless monitoring system of high sensitivity (24 bit) with piezoelectric sensors.
  • Wireless monitoring system of low power MEMS sensors
  • Weather Station PCE-FWS-20

RS – Rehabilitación Sostenible de edificios
Posted on by b105
  • Title: Rehabilitación Sostenible de edificios (RS)rs
  • Funding Organization: FCC via Centro para el Desarrollo Tecnológico Industrial (CDTI) – Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación
  • Participants:
    • Companies: FCC, URSA, METALES EXTRUIDOS, ENERGESIS and OPLAN.
    • Research Centers: Universidad de Málaga (UM), Universidad de Sevilla (US), Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM) and Instituto Eduardo Torroja.
  • Description: The main objective of the RS project is the development of an integrated system to achieve an improvement in energy efficiency in the sustainable rehabilitation of existing buildings. Related topics are smart power management, thermal control and renewable energy systems. LSI-B105 at UPM is in charge of monitoring power consumption and temperature at home, gathering user data and preferences and designing energy-efficient strategies for warming the different rooms.

  • Description: PROMETEO is the biggest applied research project awarded to a corporate consortium in Spain, concerning the fight against forest fires. This project aims at safeguarding the conservation of our forests, optimizing the public administrations’ resources allocated for this purpose, by means of the development of new technologies that would allow us to minimize the forest fire hazard and mitigate the environmental damage in case of fire. Our group is responsible for the development of a wireless sensor network, to be deployed in high risk environments, with the objective of preventing and eventually helping in the extinction of forest fires.
