The subject Electrical and Telecommunications Infrastructures introduces students to the comprehensive study of medium and low voltage electrical installations present in buildings and residential environments, also covering home automation systems and energy efficiency and saving mechanisms applied in homes. It also offers a structured vision of the different parts that make up a work and their relationship with the technical infrastructures that support it, allowing us to understand the interaction between construction, regulations and services. Within this framework, the current regulation on Common Telecommunications Infrastructures (ICT) is addressed, as well as its scope of application and limits of competence, providing the necessary context to interpret its role in the deployment of networks and services. Finally, the subject situates these contents in the evolution towards the digital home, offering a curricular perspective that connects the current foundations with the technological transformations that will be the object of study in more advanced subjects of the degree.

The purpose of the subject is for the student to understand the fundamentals of electrotechnics and to know the current regulations applicable to the design of low voltage electrotechnical installations, especially the Electrotechnical Regulations for Low Voltage (REBT). It also seeks to ensure that students assimilate the basic principles of renewable energies and installations aimed at energy saving and efficiency in the residential environment, and that they integrate the essential fundamentals of civil works related to telecommunications infrastructures. In the same way, the aim is for the student to develop the ability to design projects for low-voltage installations and apply appropriate technical criteria for the development of Common Telecommunications Infrastructures (ICT) projects, thus strengthening a training base consistent with the professional profile of the telecommunications systems engineer.
The subject (4 credits) is divided into two totally different parts:
