Field Measurements and Case Studies

Subtask 5 will identify and gather data from relevant case studies and field measurements where the strategies mentioned in conjunction with Subtask 4 can be examined and optimized. For instance, new ventilation patterns will be investigated in highly energy efficient residential buildings based on improved airtightness, increase insulation, use of materials, and possibly also new residential behavior. Several sites/climates will be proposed, and the field tests will include buildings declared as being energy efficient or recently refurbished to become so. The case studies will be validation experiments for the modelling work in Subtask 2 and Subtask 3.
