ENVE works in fields related to the European Green Deal, which include the environment biodiversity, circular economy, zero pollution, climate change, energy, and space policies.
Cartuja Qanat is an innovative urban transformation project that will foster the use of streets as a means of social dynamism, upgrading them and drawing the entire city ecosystem (public and private actors and citizens) into this transformation.
Cartuja Qanat provides a governance model for urban policy focusing on public-private cooperation to transform the city.
It aims to become a tool to apply solutions and technologies that help to cut energy consumption generated by cooling, with tested and budgetised solutions, presented in a sort of catalogue or user guide.
The project will bring together a range of technological solutions integrated within a modular, adjustable system that embraces the heritage and legacy of the Romans, Arabs and Jews in terms of use of water and materials, shade and vegetation.
The application of a series of technological and scientific innovations, materials, processes and methodologies is planned, with the objective of significantly lowering the temperature in a public outdoor space without the use of external energy within the system and free of any polluting processes.
The outcome of this multidisciplinary approach will be new types of shade systems, water usage, ventilation and new ways of using vegetation or solar energy.
New business models are envisaged combining scientific know-how with cultural heritage in a living laboratory for change through eco-innovation and by adapting to new solutions for microclimate improvement, such as cooling installations (qanat), an underground gallery (zoco) and a bioclimatic amphitheatre.
