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

The g-value measurement system follows

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...
Optical measurements are typically done at 90º. The acquisition of a new spectrophotometer within MEZeroE project, allows TECNALIA to measure these parameters at any incident angle. This is really useful for the definition of the optimal orientation of the product.
