The PIELSEN project, led by FCC Construcción and the Camilo Jose Cela University, has been the protagonist in several publications of innovation journals.
 
"PIELSEN: Homeostasic 3D surround architecture to create adaptive intelligent sensitive skin on building facades", funded by the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities within the call Challenges-Collaboration 2017, and whose consortium is led by FCC Construcción, together with the participation of TAS Iberia, software and services company; the Camilo José Cela University, the Polytechnic University of Madrid through the Energy Efficiency and Internet of things group of the Center for Integrated Domotics (CeDInt-UPM) and the Acor Technology Group working group.
 
The objective of the project, which is based on an idea of a research team from the School of Architecture of the UCJC, focuses on the development of an intelligent envelope for buildings that acts as a Sensitive Skin. The starting point is to make it based on 3 components (3P): a hydrogel / enveloping piezoelectric polymer material (skin), a supporting structure of the wrapping material (folds) and a meshing system of 3D sensors (pores). The project is scheduled to take place over a period of 36 months (2018-2020).
 
The PIELSEN System provides a new viable architectural element from a technical-economic point of view, which is developed with a concept between bioclimatic architecture and Smart Building, which is very much in demand today by a society increasingly aware of the environment. sustainable and natural, involving the development of solutions not only in the field of architecture and construction, but in advances related to their impact on health, welfare, the environment, energy resources and technological innovation applied to the buildings themselves.
 
The objective is to be able to have a skin, pores and folds for buildings, that even be generating their own energy based on the latent energies surrounding the buildings (sun, wind, electrostatic, wind, piezo ...), to be incorporated as intelligent constructive solution integrated in the work, aimed at a type of market that saves costs to final consumers, increasing the use of clean energy and focusing on the study of the following innovations:
 
Adaptive enveloping materials with embedded devices electronic monitor / sensor
  • Changing state hydrogels for tesserae on the facades
  • SW (Wireless Sensor) environmental monitor in onboard boards FPGA RF / 5G / IP (SW in firmware)
  • SW control in the cloud for the building supervisor computer
  • Tele-support platform and trans-urban preventive actions (SW tele-support-monitoring)
  • Mobile adaptive systems in architectural structures (connectivity + analysis + gateways)
The knowledge of FCC Construcción in the operation and implementation of smart envelope systems and Smart Cities will result in high added value in tender offers and in future tenders for works contracts.
 
Specifying in the project objective, the knowledge generated in the operation and implementation of the smart envelope systems for their potential use in Smart Cities, allows to elaborate offers with a high added value.
