A path for product certification

A list of tests to be carried out for obtaining a certification of your construction product is given to the customers. Each manufacturer who needs help will be supported by a pull of experts, giving consultancy and guidance trough this path.

The PM&VL8 focuses on the thermal-optical characterization and performance benchmarking of semi-transparent and advanced facades. This can includes different glazing systems (float, low-e, electrochromic) as well as systems for shading (louvers, screens,...) and daylighting purpose (redirecting blinds, refractive systems, …) as well es their combination towards complex fenestration systems, allowing to control the thermal as well as the visual performance of a building facade. For these products, the PM&VL8 provides a measurment service organized in three pillars: pillar-1: evaluation on component scale; pillar-2: evaluation on facade scale; pillar-3: evaluation by supplementary simulations.

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.
