The Building Services Engineering laboratory is a unique resource, designed to provide insight into how systems for climate control, comfort, and indoor environments function in various situations. Here, the supply and recovery of energy in buildings, the control and monitoring, and the resulting indoor climate are studied and experienced.
About the lab
The laboratory is an invaluable resource for both research and education. We demonstrate real systems, components, and processes, which are crucial for the engineers' technical understanding and to foster their interest and creativity. Observing functioning systems and conducting experiments at full scale provides practical experience that makes theoretical studies both easier and more interesting. Interest and enthusiasm increase significantly! This applies not only to university students but also to professional engineers who want to further develop or update their knowledge.
Test facilities
The laboratory comprises:
- Two identical full-scale test chambers for studies of thermal climate, air quality, air movements, and pollution dispersion.
- A "Body-Box" test chamber for determining the emission of particles and microorganisms from humans, as well as testing protective clothing for clean environments.
- Air handling units with all conceivable functions, including control, regulation, and monitoring.
- A unit with a rotary heat exchanger.
- A unit with water-borne heat recovery.
- Liquid-based distribution systems for heating and cooling.
- Chilled beam for practicing functional control based on measurements.
- Pump rig to illustrate pump and system characteristics and efficiency.
- Airflow measurement rig methods for measuring airflow, including assessment of measurement uncertainties.
- Filter test rig for field testing of HEPA filters.
