Build Monitoring

Long term monitoring

Independent evidence of the performance of renewable materials in comparison to conventional materials is crucial. Data loggers have been built into the structure of the house so its performance can be monitored over three years. Once completed, the house's temperature, humidity and air flow will be recorded, as well as the temperature gradient across the external walls and in-situ U values.

The energy consumption of the house will be recorded and an infra red thermographic study will be performed.
