The team will contribute knowledge in two sessions focused on climate shelters and technologies for decarbonisation, resilience and the energy transition.
Wattega will actively participate in the Congreso Nacional de Ingeniería de Instalaciones, organised by ACI on 7 July, with a presence in two sessions focused on some of the main challenges in building services engineering: adapting facilities to climate change and promoting technological solutions to move towards a more decarbonised and resilient system.
Wattega’s participation is also framed within the company’s connection with ACI. Wattega is part of the association’s board, with Enric Ros as vice-president, and will contribute to the congress with professionals from the team in two working spaces: CoCreem and Innovation.

Facilities as climate shelters
The first session will be led by Ivan Capdevila and will include the participation of Josep Maria Palau and Carla García, from Wattega. Under the title “Facilities as climate shelters: renovation and reconfiguration of buildings to adapt them to climate change”, the session will take place in the CoCreem space.
The objective will be to analyse how public facilities can be transformed to respond to episodes of extreme heat and situations of climate stress. The proposal is based on a clear idea: many existing buildings can take on new climate protection functions if they are renovated and reconfigured with appropriate technical criteria.
The session will address this adaptation from different perspectives, including energy and water installations, which are decisive for ensuring comfort, efficiency and the response capacity of buildings. The work will be structured around a group co-creation dynamic, based on various types of facilities: sports centres, educational centres, libraries, residential homes, CAP, cultural centres and auditoriums.
This approach will make it possible to share needs, design criteria and intervention possibilities in buildings that already form part of the everyday infrastructure of towns and cities.
Technologies for decarbonisation and resilience
The second session will be led by Manuel Marín and will include the participation of Joel Nadal, from Wattega. It will take place in the Innovation space and will focus on “Innovative technologies for decarbonisation, resilience and the energy transition”.
The session will analyse the main levers in the energy sector to move towards decarbonisation, strengthen system resilience and accelerate the energy transition in line with European directives. Based on a diagnosis of the sector, three key technological vectors will be presented: electrification of production, demand flexibility and the deployment of energy storage.
It will also include real examples and experiences driven by engineering, as well as enabling technologies such as 5th-generation district networks, which can contribute to more efficient, flexible and integrated energy management.
With this dual participation, Wattega strengthens its presence in the technical debate on the future of building services engineering, contributing an applied perspective on sustainability, innovation and sector transformation. For more information, the official Congress website can be consulted.
