“…As this passive device acts as a solar collector, part of the solar radiation absorbed by the glazing units is captured by the passing air that is delivered to the inside by this heated air stream. Therefore, for a ventilated double window a third total solar transmittance due to the pre-heating of the ventilation air, as it was found by Southall and McEvoy [26] with a supply air window, may be found by:…”

“…The efficiency of the window for heat loss and solar factor increases with the airflow rate. However, these results should be put into perspective as the difference between experiments and numerical simulations for the ventilated window are often non negligible [10,13,16]. In a future investigation, it will be necessary to get experimental data to calibrate the simplified model in order to validate it.…”

“…In a later work [95], the thermal and solar performances of an industrialized ventilated double façade were determined for different configurations of airflow rates in the cavity, different cavity widths and position of the shading device. The performances of a supply air window is investigated by McEvoy et al [19] and by Southall and McEvoy [100]. The device consists of «an inner and outer casement, the two being locked together by catches [...].…”

“…The air rises by stack effect and wind pressure or by mechanical means. In this way the window acts as both a heat reclaim and a passive solar device [100]. A ventilated shading screen was used to exclude solar radiation during the first phase of the experiment, then the screen was removed and the effect of solar radiation was quantified in terms of ventilation pre-heating.…”

In the past decades the construction sector experienced the diffusion of a wide variety of complex building envelope components and passive elements and strategies, characterized by a dynamic response to the climatic parameters. Many of these components have been claimed to contribute to reducing building energy use and improving occupants' comfort. These kind of envelope elements need nevertheless to be tested under laboratory and real dynamic weather conditions in order to characterise, and possibly to model, their behaviour and their effectiveness both in terms of energy saving and indoor environmental quality. Both indoor laboratories and outdoor test cells have been developed in order to tackle the challenging issue of experimentally characterising innovative envelope elements. However, not always the experimental methodologies are fully and explicitly described in the available literature, and they are rarely compared to other types of experimental procedures. The aim of the present paper is to describe and review recent state of the art technologies for outdoor test cells. The paper starts with a short introduction on potentialities and limitations of outdoor facilities with respect to indoor laboratories and real buildings field tests, and it continues with a detailed classification and description of the most relevant outdoor test cells developed in recent years.
