- Abstract
- The report focuses on opportunities for full-scale testing of residential building interactions in environmental chambers, where one has control of weather conditions and occupant effects. Such research will increase our understanding of the physical nature of these interactions and their effects on energy use, comfort, cost, and other factors. In the report the authors review past and current research in the area of full-scale testing in environmental chambers and other related work. Based on the review, further research is proposed in several important areas of residential building performance.
