We present first results of an implementation of chemical evolution in a cosmological hydrodynamical code, focusing the analysis on the effects of cooling baryons according to their metallicity. We found that simulations with primordial cooling can underestimate the star formation rate from z < 3 and by up to ≈ 20%. We constructed simulated spectra by combining the star formation and chemical history of galactic systems with spectral synthesis models and assess the impact of chemical evolution on the energy distribution.
