A SIP demonstration house was built by the Kott Group in Iqaluit, Nunavut with SIPs (structural insulated panels). A web connected, multichannel battery powered wireless data logger was installed for continuous remote monitoring of building performance.,
Calorimeter completed with an absorber plate. It has been used to evaluate the SHGC of two STPV panels systems.

ECHO - Solar Decathlon House 2013 on parking lot of Algonquin College, by Team Ontario, Queens University, Carleton University, and Algonquin College. Photo taken on the house without solar panels on May 24, 2013. Solar Decathlon 2013 will be held during October 3-13 at the Orange County Great Park in Irvine, California.
Experimental setup for measuring glass deflection of 12 vision control panels (IGUs with build-in mechanized blinds) under temperature variations. IGUs provided and installed by Unicel Architectural. Photo on the right, a LVDT (Linear variable differential transformer) probe was mounted on the exterior of an IGU.

A $4.6-million overall investment has the facility equipped with cutting-edge technology to rate the ability of a building’s envelope to store heat and to resist frost/thaw damage, air infiltration, condensation and other adverse conditions. The chamber is also equipped to test composite materials and structures, such as floors and windows with special coatings.
