Description

Energy House 2 (EH2) is a large-scale building physics test laboratory to be built at the University of Salford Manchester. The project Is part funded by the ERDF. The construction will begin in summer 2020 with the construction period set to last 12 months. The project builds on the successful Energy House project :(https://www.salford.ac.uk/built-environment/laboratories-and-studios/energy-house ). A video of the project can be found here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oP3bsXeQKYU
EH2 will be a unique facility and one of most advanced building test facilities on the planet. It has the following features:
• 2 large chambers capable of having 2 family homes built in each one (4 homes in total)
• Temperature controlled to within 0.5 °C from -20°C to +40 °C
• Wind, rain, solar radiation and snow can be generated
• These conditions provide testing facilities for housing covering 95% of the global population.
The Energy House 2 Project has a requirement to generate REAL snow to fall on to the top of the homes. This will make a significant difference to the thermal performance of the properties.
