The next March 21st, Marta Castellote will present LIFE Photoscaling project in the LIFE MINOx-STREET closing event at CIEMAT (Centro de Investigaciones Energéticas, Medioambientales y Tecnológicas), Avda. Complutense, 40, Madrid. Firstly, the results of this project will be shown to offer a guide and recommendations for the use of these photocatalytic materials in urban environments. Therefore, this will permit to evaluate the strategies of reduction of this type of pollution. […]
The last February 19th, Marta Castellote presented LIFE-Photoscaling project at the University of Alicante (Comunidad Valenciana). This speech was included in the Official Master of Civil Engineering imparted at the University of Alicante. More information about the Master.
Passive air sampling tubes have been installated in an area in Madrid. These passive tubes have filters which will take samples of air. The filters will be analysed later and they will let us to know about pollution of Madrid (specially NO2).

Marta Castellote has shown them the current state and they have discussed about concrete pavements. PAviNOx web and ANDECE web.
Eva Jiménez has presented the LIFE Photoscaling project in the course «Construcción Sostenible (Sustainable Building)» organized by AECID (Agencia Española de Cooperación Internacional para el Desarrollo) in Montevideo (Uruguay).
Once per season, measurement devices are calibrated. This process is carried out by placing the four devices in the place where two weather stations from Madrid City Council are located. One of these locations is in Madrid (Arturo Soria street) and the other one is in Arganda del Rey. Our four devices register data during, at least, a week and these ones are compared with […]
Today, a person from Breinco has come to the IETcc to know the results we have obtained and collected until now. Marta Castellote and Eva Jiménez have explained and solved every question. Then, we have visited the three bank of proofs and the rest of platforms in Madrid.
Ángel Castillo has presented the project LIFE Photoscaling in the Course «Construcción Sostenible (Sustainable Building)» in Buenos Aires (Argentina) organised with the cooperation of the Fundación General CSIC (FGCSIC).
Floor slip resistance testing is the science of measuring the coefficient of friction (or resistance to slip accidents) of flooring surfaces, either in a laboratory (before or after installation) or on floors in situ. Flooring is tested using a tribometer (floor slip resistance tester) to discover if there is a high propensity for slip and fall accidents on it. In this case, the used device […]
