The Center for Industrial Technological Development (CDTI) under the Ministry of Science and Innovation, has awarded a grant of 535 925 euros to this project , which will allow CYPE based research to develop a numerical analysis of thermal bridges in buildings. The UMH involved in the project to be responsible for the methodology of the model and validate the results of the new software.

The new program will develop and UMH CYPE, designers have a tool exists in the market to analyze the hundreds of thermal bridges that can have a building, thereby reducing energy demand and reduce air pollution. Moreover, the new software will limit the energy losses in the homes of the 30 countries where CYPE markets its technology products.

This new software will make architects, technicians, industrial engineers, industrial engineers, technicians and engineers of roads in Spain have intuitive software that maximizes the simplicity in terms of data entry. The program will be fully interlinked with the rest of the calculation modules and results obtained as both the values and the necessary documentation to justify the Technical Building Code (CTE).

At present, the lack of a graphics program and calculation of thermal bridges causes the designers do not consider this paragraph to the time to work the energy efficiency of construction despite the approval of the CTE.

At present, the energy demand of buildings accounts for between 30 and 40 percent of total energy consumption in Spain. Within this spending , nearly half depends on the cooling of the housing, while the rest of consumption is due to the use of household products such as refrigerators, washing machines or lighting, and thermal - bridge binding sites of a building - that because they are not homogeneous by the intersection of different materials and thickness varied leak large amounts of energy.
