Laboratories
-
Climate laboratory (Room PH856):
– Climate chamber: 16 m² indoor climate chamber adjacent to a chilled outdoor climate chamber. We have used these to test passive cooling systems (phase change, thermal mass), construction U-value measurements, measuring glazing condensation risk, data-driven controls development, etc.
– Wind tunnel: TSI 8390, for anemometer calibration.
– Binder KMF 720 climate chamber: Controlled air temperature, humidity, and air movement/velocity
-
Fluid mechanics & thermodynamics laboratory (Room PH861):
– Emission exposure chamber: with activated carbon filter ventilation/recirculation.
– Hilton A660 Air Conditioning Laboratory Unit: with mixing of fresh/recisculation air flow, humification/dehumidification, chiller, and electric heaters, full-spec instrumentation and logging
-
Microbiology laboratory (Room PH851):
Laboratory used to characterize mold spores in air quality samples, moisture-damage and fungus infections in buildings and materials. Equipment includes:
– Air-sampling equipment: SAS Super ISO f 180, Microflow α
– Sample storage (fridge and freezer), and Agar-plate production equipment, and incubation equipment (Termaks).
– Fume hood: Holten
– Microscopes: Olympos CX31, Microscope BX45, Stereomicroscope SZ2, with digital camera.
-
HVAC & automation laboratory (Room PH905):
– Full scale air-handling-unit with DDC-controller, variable-speed fans, and pressure transducers
– Hydronic heating system with four radiators configurable for single-pipe and two-pipe flow, two plate
heat exchangers, full instrumentation for flow rates, pressures and temperatures.– Swegon SuperWise demand-controlled ventilation rig with a mixture of active air terminals, DDC with cloud-based supervisory control
