Engineering: a roundabout under the sea, Faroe Islands
With a maximum gradient of 5%, the Eysturoyartunnilin reaches 187 m below sea level at its deepest point.
Lifetime of leisure and tourism facilities
Design, implementation, maintenance and upgrading, key phases in the cycle of technical installations.
Design of technical rooms in water parks
The design of the technical rooms in a water park makes a decisive contribution to its efficient operation.
Architecture and construction: structural seismic isolators
They simultaneously keep under control the relative deflections and accelerations of the floors of a building.
Climate-control systems
There are five main types of climate control: air-air, air-water, water-water, water-air and aerothermal.
Ventilation with heat recovery
Current architectural and building codes prioritise such ventilation in enclosed spaces intended for people.
Lighting as a wellness factor
Lighting design affects the physical and mental health of visitors and tourists in water parks and spas.
