With this laboratory it is possible to perform a full hygrothermal characterization of building materials. After the characterization, the materials can be modelled in hygrothermal simulation software (WUFI, DELPHIN, EN 15026) to predict their behavior in realistic design conditions.
With this infrastructure it is possible to calibrate IAQ sensors and to evaluate the emissions from façade materials and systems, and from other materials typically found in buildings.

A comprehensive set-up for indoor acoustic tests to evaluate the effect of the façade on the indoor space. It could be used within both in Façade System Interactions Lab but also in real buildings

Complex facade systems or components can be tested in a double climatic chamber with guarded hot box. Temperature and relative humidity can be controlled in both chambers. Artificial sun irradiation can be simulated using specific lamps from "cold" (outdoor) chamber. During the tests, prototypes can be equipped with several sensors that allow to develop for instance thermal and hygrometric evaluations in different operative conditions.

In TECNALIA, during MEZeroE project, we have developed new tests to obtain information on the power, efficiency and constructive viability of BIST and BIPV-T development phase systems in an operational environment, subject to real generation and demand conditions. The performance of the system can be compared against standard PV and ST products tested simultaneously with the test sample during...
