Summary

NOTES THAT FULL-SCALE FIELD MEASUREMENTS UNDER ACTUAL WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE CONSIDERED A REALISTIC APPROACH FOR THE MEASUREMENT OF ENERGY CONSUMPTION AND THE ASSESSMENT OF BUILDING ENVELOPE PERFORMANCE. DESCRIBES A SIMPLY CONSTRUCTED OUTDOOR TEST CHAMBER AND OUTLINES THE REQUIREMENTS FOR TEMPERATURE, SOLAR RADIATION, WIND SPEED AND WIND DIRECTION MEASUREMENTS. PRESENTS A SIMPLE EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE FOR EVALUATING WINDOW ENERGY CONSUMPTION. ALSO ASPECTS SUCH AS IN-STRUMENTATION, EQUIPMENT, DATA MEASUREMENTS AND RECORDING. COMPARES SOME OF THE FIELD MEASUREMENTS OBTAINED WITH RESULTS FROM A TRANSIENT THREE-DIMENSIONAL HEAT TRANSFER MODEL AND FINDS GOOD AGREEMENT. (INT. BUILD. SERV. ABSTR., GB., 24, N 3, 1989/05-06, 89-00951.
