'Family' of applications of Building andurbanism
The new application, which is already available on Apple Store, can be useful for the teaching that is carried out within the School of Architecture and to disseminate its lines of research. It is also designed to help professionals (architects, construction engineers, etc.), in the development of their work.

"This is the first of what is expected to become a 'family' of applications of Building and urbanism adapted to PC Tablets, increasingly recurrent platforms, and in this case, iPad and iPhone devices," explains Professor César Martín Gómez. Specifically, at the moment, three more are already being developed: one related to air conditioning with Peltier cells, based on a project of research; and two others of character professor: an energy meter and an application with questions and answers related to the design of facilities in the Building.
