  • How to Reach Santander Location and Access by Plane
    How to reach Santander Location and Access Santander is located by the North shoreline of Spain. It is well connected with the most important Spanish cities (namely Madrid and Barcelona) and it is very close to Bilbao (120 km). There are several ways to reach Santander; in the following we provide a brief outlook of them. By plane To reach Santander by plane, there is the option to arrive directly at its airport, but Bilbao airport (with more European connections) can also be used, since it is easy to reach Santander from Bilbao by road. In this sense, University of Cantabria has an agreement with a private taxi service (cheaper than a taxi), with a fare of 107 euros per way (either Santander-Bilbao or Bilbao-Santander). Santander International Airport (SDR) Santander Airport (SDR) is located 7 km away from the downtown and has regular flights to Madrid and Barcelona operated by the IBERIA airline company. • To Madrid: 8 flights per day; From Madrid: 8 flights per day. • To Barcelona: 3 flights per day; From Barcelona: 3 flights per day. There are also flights to and from Madrid operated by the low Cost Ryanair airline company per day. • To Madrid: 2 flights per day; From Madrid: 1 flight per day. Figure 1. International flights In addition, there are a number of international connections, most of them operated by Ryanair. The following two tables provide the current international and domestic flights in Santander airport: Table 1. International flights Table 2. Domestic flights Bilbao International Airport (BIO) As said before, another interesting alternative is to use Bilbao airport (with several European connections), and then travel to Santander by car, bus, etc.

Gabbar (Gaber) Received: 26 September 2016; Accepted: 11 January 2017; Published: 19 January 2017 Abstract: Airports in general have high-energy consumption. Influenced by many factors, the characteristics of airport energy consumption are stochastic, nonlinear and dynamic. In recent years, airport managers have made huge efforts to harmonize airport operation with environmental sustainability by minimizing the environmental impact, with energy conservation and energy efficiency as one of their pillars. A key factor in order to reduce energy consumption at airports is to understand the energy use and consumption behavior, due to the multiple parameters and singularities that are involved. In this article, a 3-step methodology based on monitoring methods is proposed to characterize and analyze energy demand patterns in airports through their electric load profiles, and is applied to the Seve Ballesteros-Santander Airport (Santander, Spain). This methodology can be also used in airports in order to determine the way energy is used, to establish the classification

The number of air operations over the past 20 years has increased rapidly, and this has led to a rise in the energy needs of airports to satisfy this demand. As a consequence, the cost of energy supply for airport managers has escalated. At the same time, global energy consumption has soared due to the needs of emerging countries like China and India, with the consequent environmental impact. This complex scenario of environmental and economic factors has made airport managers become aware of the need to reduce energy consumption as well as a more efficient use of it. The aim of this article is to analyze the main behaviors and energy trends at airports in more recent research, starting with the description of the main energy sources and consumers, the application of energy conservation and energy efficiency measures, the establishment of energy indicators and benchmarking between airports, as well as energy modeling and simulation. Keywords: airports; energy building; energy efficiency; energy consumption; energy conservation; energy benchmarking; energy modeling; energy simulation; renewable sources; Combined heat and power (CHP) plants 1.
