This infrastructure consists on two twin chambers with full control of indoor thermal conditions where it is possible to perform tests on perceived IEQ with people, in particular thermal, acoustic, visual comfort, and IAQ, also using thermal manikins for objective measurements. These thermal manikins consist of a human-shape heat source to perform objective and repeatable experiments on heat transfer to and from human bodies.

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.
