Julio Terrados Cepeda

Dr. Julio Terrados Cepeda is a faculty member at the Universidad de Jaén, affiliated with the Department of Graphic Engineering, Design and Projects. His research focuses on energy systems, sustainability, and urban metabolism, with a particular emphasis on renewable energy planning, environmental efficiency, and the application of Building Information Modeling (BIM) to sustainable development.

• Specializes in energy transition and CO2 emissions analysis
• Applies multicriteria decision-making to urban energy infrastructure
• Promotes BIM methodology in engineering education
• Conducts experimental work on biomass gasification and hydrogen production

His recent publications analyze renewable energy potential in Andalusia, evaluate electric vehicle charging locations using PROMETHEE-GIS techniques, and explore BIM's role in hospital sustainability. He also investigates thermal storage for biomass, spectral factors in photovoltaic systems, and the socioeconomic viability of green construction materials.

Key methodologies include LEAP modeling, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), and GIS-based spatial planning. His work bridges academic research with practical implementation, as evidenced by projects like the Mágina Project and collaborations in Ecuador.
