“…In Europe among real scale facilities a small number of them present the property of being modular, such as Kubik (Tecnalia -Spain) [11], VERU (Fraunhofer -Germany), The Cube (DTU -Denmark) [14] and BEST lab (EDFFrance). The aim of this paper is to present a new modular outdoor facility, FACT (FACade Tool).…”

International audienceIn the last years, several innovations have been introduced in the field of building envelope research and development. To bridge the gap between research and commercially available products, one of the key step is to evaluate these technologies in 1:1 scale and under real boundary conditions. For this purpose, test in outdoor full-scale facilities in complement with dynamic numerical simulation, allow to assess the performances of these complex envelope components, systems or whole building. In this framework a new versatile facility, named FACT (FACade Tool), is under construction in the southeastern France (CEA-INES platform – Le Bourget du Lac) for building envelope components test. This new full-scale tool will be dedicated to infield evaluation of: opaque and transparent elements, lightweight and massive façades, different thickness and heights and different geometry of the indoor environment. In this paper it is presented the design phase, the concept and the working principle of the facility. The layout definition was supported by preliminary simulations and the results of this modelling activity are discussed in order to guide the construction of the facility and to outline the experimental protocol for the next campaigns in FACT

“…Building scale validation of the insulation performance of the composite boards PS-P-X was carried out in the adaptive Kubik by Tecnalia (hereinafter referred to as KUBIK) fullscale building test facility [39], which served at the same time as a technological demonstration environment, and as a full scale experimentation and validation testing environment for performance assessment of these composites under real-life conditions. To create an ideal test environment for the aerogel based composite insulation system, a subset of the KUBIK building was selected.…”

Heating load in Commercial buildings is highly related with ventilation systems, while at the same time local discomfort in the vicinity of glass walls occurs due to overheating. In this paper, a novel double envelope curtain wall is presented, which extracts heat from the façade by means of a ventilated cavity which is then incorporated to the ventilation air intake. A substantial reduction of heating loads is achieved. Whenever solar gains are not sought, a bypass element allows the natural ventilation of this air cavity, acting as a ventilated façade. An integrated control system with embedded electronics and actuators allows for a smart control of the system. The system is designed for integration with existing rooftop ventilation systems. Design considerations are discussed, and the outcomes of a full-scale experiment conducted in Bilbao (Spain) along 2019 presented.
