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.

sensors will form part of a sensor network over 300 sensors. These will report back into a database
using the SDI12 standard.
