Gonçal Costa Jutglar

Gonçal Costa Jutglar serves as a Contracted Professor within the Department of Architecture at La Salle Technical School of Architecture, Universitat Ramon Llull. His academic appointment focuses on Human-Environment Research, bridging architectural design with environmental performance analysis. His institutional affiliation places him within a technical architecture school known for its practical engineering approach to built environments.

His research interests span multiple critical areas in sustainable architecture, with particular emphasis on building energy efficiency and semantic data modeling for architectural applications. Costa Jutglar's work addresses building compliance regulations through automated systems, develops digital twin technologies for facility management, and creates ventilation solutions for pandemic-resilient workspaces. His research portfolio demonstrates consistent progression from fundamental energy conservation measures toward sophisticated AI-driven compliance systems.

Analysis of his recent publications reveals a clear trajectory toward increasingly complex integration of artificial intelligence with building regulatory frameworks. Starting with foundational energy conservation measure catalogs, his work has evolved to incorporate machine learning for automatic compliance checking and semantic tools for digital twin implementations. His research consistently addresses practical challenges in public building management while advancing theoretical frameworks for data interoperability in architectural contexts.

Costa Jutglar actively leads multiple significant research projects including ACCESS (Automated verification service for compliance with accessibility regulations), BUILDING LEGACY, and ACCORD (Automated Compliance Checks for Construction, Renovation or Demolition Works). These projects demonstrate sustained external funding from diverse sources including the European Commission and regional Catalan government agencies.

His collaborative network spans multiple European countries with notable partnerships in Germany, Estonia, and Finland, focusing on sustainable building environments and data exchange standards. The Human-Environment Research group he participates in represents a substantial interdisciplinary effort involving over 40 researchers addressing complex challenges at the intersection of architecture, environmental systems, and digital technologies.
