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

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 measure air velocity in a chamber environment. This will range from air movement provided by wind machines through to light air movement from
the HVAC units providing cooling and heating to the chamber. Another requirement will be to use air flow inside buildings to inform thermal comfort calculations.
