The visit included two working sessions on the challenges of sustainable transportation in island territories and environmental management in volcanic areas, culminating with a visit to the Bioclimatic Houses of ITER, as an example of a real-scale bioclimatic laboratory that combines architecture and sustainability. On Monday, July 24th, the Institute of Technology and Renewable Energy (ITER), under the authority of the Cabildo of Tenerife, welcomed the visit of 70 councilors who are part of the Working Group on Environment of the European Union Council. This visit is part of a comprehensive program developed on the island of Tenerife, in the…
The visit included two working sessions on the challenges of sustainable transport in island territories and environmental management in volcanic areas, and culminated with a visit to the ITER Bioclimatic Houses, as an example of a full-scale bioclimatic laboratory where architecture and sustainability are combined. Last Monday, July 24, the Institute of Technology and Renewable Energies (ITER), under the Cabildo of Tenerife, received the visit of 70 councilors who are part of the working group on Environment of the European Union. This visit is part of a comprehensive program developed on the island of Tenerife, within the framework of the…
Developed by ITER, the online television channel of the Cabildo de Tenerife has achieved outstanding live broadcasting and storage of corporate audiovisual content: an achievement that is the result of the effort and dedication of the last 10 years. The online television channel of the Cabildo de Tenerife, Tenerife TV (https://canaltenerifetv.com/), has achieved remarkable quotas in terms of live broadcasts and storage of corporate audiovisual content. This achievement represents an important milestone for the Institution, which has worked hard to offer the citizens of the Island a plural, updated and quality broadcasting platform. The Tenerife TV channel is an audiovisual…
