National Bureau of Standards passive solar test facility: instrumentation and site handbook
The National Bureau of Standards (NBS), under the sponsorship of the US Department of Energy (DOE) has constructed a passive solar test facility. As a part of the DOE's Experimental Systems Research Program, the NBS test facility has been constructed for the purpose of acquiring and distributing to participating researchers class A level performance data for different passive systems. These data are acquired for use in: detailed building energy analysis and model/algorithm validation; and performance characterization of passive subsystems. This handbook provides a complete description of the test building, thermophysical properties of the building material, location of the sensors installed at the test facility, and data acquisition system and procedures.
