NEW FULL-SCALE SOLAR AND BUILDING ENERGY LABORATORY AT LUND UNIVERSITY
(2005) North Sun 2005 p.1-7- Abstract
- Abstract – A new full-scale laboratory has been erected at Lund university in 2004. The main goal of the
laboratory is to find cost-effective solutions which reduce the electricity use in offices and residential
buildings. The facility contains four rooms for testing building components, especially glazing and
shading systems. The roof has a platform for testing solar components and solar systems, both solar
heating and photovoltaic systems. The four test rooms are placed in a climatic chamber, a guard ,which is
temperature controlled. The rooms are constructed of homogeneous insulated sandwich panels with low
thermal mass and no thermal bridges and have removable façades towards south.... (More) - Abstract – A new full-scale laboratory has been erected at Lund university in 2004. The main goal of the

thermal mass and no thermal bridges and have removable façades towards south. The rooms are
identically two and two: One pair is designed for studies of visual and thermal comfort and have modern
office ventilation and lighting systems. The other room pair is designed for detailed studies of the energy
performance of i.e. solar shading systems. The heating system of the laboratory is based on a combination
of a ground source heat pump and solar thermal collectors. Both high temperature and low temperature
solar collectors can be connected to the system to produce hot water or recharge the ground source
borehole. Separate collector test loops will also be installed for investigation of solar thermal and hybrid
PV-T collectors. Operating temperatures from below the dew point of the air to high temperatures (90°C)
can be simulated in these systems. A building automation system together with a traditional logger system
will be used for both long-term and short-term monitoring. (Less)
