An independent building services engineering consultancy
Pamtec Engineering specialises in building services, automation and building performance — combining engineering practice with advanced research to design systems that are robust, efficient, and centred on the people who use them.
The practice is registered in the Netherlands (KVK 94188602) with its office in Delft, and works regularly in Spain from Valencia. Projects run in English, Spanish and Dutch.
What makes the work different is not a methodology. It is that the same person who writes your control sequences also publishes peer-reviewed research on how occupants respond to them — so the design decisions are informed by evidence rather than by habit.
Independent
Impartial advice, not tied to any supplier or product. No commission, no resale, no preferred manufacturer.
Human-centred, research-backed
Grounded in current evidence and proven on large-scale projects.
A single partner
From the first calculation through to intelligent operation, without a handover between disciplines.
European experience
Across research, policy and practice — European Commission, IEA and national programmes.
A broad network
Industry and research specialists, so we can match the right people to each project.
Pablo Martínez-Alcaraz
Chartered Industrial Engineer — COIICV, Colegio Oficial de Ingenieros Industriales de la Comunidad Valenciana.
PhD researcher, Architectural Engineering & Technology, TU Delft
Pablo combines a human-centred approach to HVAC design and building services control with research at the leading edge of building performance. His published work covers occupant-centred building automation, interface design for lighting and shading controls, and personalised control based on individual thermal preference.
