Summary
The paper describes the main considerations and conclusions drawn from a pre-design study for a European Passive Solar Test Facility. The main conclusions are that there is a need for an outdoor test facility providing standardised and easily specified, but realistic test environments. Two main purposes are identified; firstly to provide data sets for mathematical model validation and development, and secondly, for the performance testing of passive solar components.
