The BSP will be exhibiting at the Smart City Expo
The Barcelona Synchrotron Park (BSP) will have its own space at the Catalan Government’s stand at the 2014 Smart City expo organized in Barcelona on November 18-20.
These three days will offer the BSP an opportunity to make its project known to become an international reference cluster of Data Centres (DC), especially in the field of energy efficiency thanks to its district cooling and its partnership with the B Barcelona consulting (Bbc) engineering company.
It will be also a good time to explain the project the BSP has with the MDeC Malaysian state agency to build in association with the city of Cyberjaya a shared DC between Malaysia and Catalonia, thanks to Bbc and the collaboration with Adam (Catalonia) and NTT Communications (Malaysia) DC providers.

The BSP signs an alliance with B barcelona consulting
The BSP signs an alliance with B barcelona consulting
The Barcelona Synchrotron Park (BSP) aims at being an international reference cluster of Data Centres (DC). In this perspective, BSP director Pere Solà signed an agreement on October 21 with B barcelona consulting (Bbc) director Lluís Gironella.
Bbc is an engineering and architecture company headquartered in Barcelona and Singapore, which specialises in DC design, and more generally, in mission critical infrastructure, especially focused on energy efficiency. Thanks to its know-how in free-cooling (a DC cooling system using the ambient outdoor air), Bbc currently works with NTT Communication Malaysia on the installation of the first DC with indirect free-cooling in a tropical country. Besides, Bbc won a tendered engineering contract to develop the new national supercomputing research centre from the famous a*STAR Singapore research state agency.
Thanks to this partnership, the BSP increases its potential to offer DC companies cutting-edge technology solutions, especially in energy efficiency issues. These solutions supplement the BSP district cooling infrastructure already operative that provides each plot with heating and cooling.
In addition, the BSP will be able to intensify its partnership with Malaysia through the contacts Bbc has in Southeast Asia, in particular in the framework of the current project of a shared DC infrastructure between the city of Cyberjaya and the BSP that aims at offering companies from both country a new technological tool for business.

UAB Inaugurates ICTA-ICP Building
UAB Inaugurates ICTA-ICP Building
The new main offices of the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology (ICTA) and the Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont (ICP) were inaugurated on October 10 at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) the Barcelona Synchrotron Park works with.
The new building, unique thanks to the sustainability criteria with which it was constructed, controls its temperature through a bioclimatic “outer skin”, reducing energy consumption levels up to 62% and water consumption up to 90% in comparison to conventional buildings: the building achieved a LEED GOLD certification by the US Green Building Council.
With 206 and 55 employees respectively, both ICTA and ICP are world-class research centers that have now with these new shared main offices a new tool at their disposal to work better.
