What is it about?
The dispersing elements have a relevant impact on the buildings' energy consumption and their thermal characteristics can be experimentally studied by means of hot boxes able to recreate real and repeatable operating conditions. We proposed a new approach for these laboratory experiments based on a novel integrated measuring and control system.

Why is it important?
Our findings show that the system we propose allows to maintain stable thermal conditions inside the chambers and to measure temperature and energy input into the hot chamber in order to calculate the thermal transmittance value of the sample wall.
Perspectives
The results obtained represent the successful completion of more than two years of work, during which the proposed system was designed, built and tested, and now it allows us to perform laboratory tests for studying the real performance of building components and search energy-efficient solutions.
