cerdecen

The Center for Research and Design in Human Comfort, Energy and Environment (CERDECEN) possesses strong research potential and experience, built up as a result of effective long-term collaborations with leading European research centers in the framework of more than 20 joint European projects, among which it has to be mentioned TEMPUS S_JEP, 1995 - 1998 (№ 09862-95), COPERNICUS (1995-1998) (№ CP-94 1490) and CLIMACADEMY, 2006-2009 (№ MSCF - 2005-029900).

 

The center is recognized as a "Center of Excellence" by the European Commission and funded (project CERDECEN, ENK6-CT-2002-80661, 2003-2005) in the same scientific field as the proposed project.

 

A specific know-how of the center is to perform field studies with the participation of people in a controlled environment (laboratory, climatic chamber), research surveys, etc., carried out for the first time in Bulgaria (project ДДВУ02/8/2010 and own research program).

 

The research team has developed a computational laboratory with licenses for two commercial software packages - PHOENICS and FLUENT, for computer simulation of complex flows, including simulation of air flows in enclosures, flows around buildings and flows around a human body. There are also specialized software packages developed by the team.
