Abstract
This paper reports on the second stage of a study conducted within the framework of a research and development project. The project aims at studying, designing and realizing a structural component of building ensuring in a permanent and integrated way the set of functions normally provided by elements of façade and by thermal liquid-cooled collectors. The product is intended to be distributed and implemented by building professionals.
Prototype active thermal solar collectors were integrated in the façade of a real-size building near Lyon in France. A computer based real time monitoring system has been installed to measure the thermal performance of the system and experimental tests are conducted. The aim of the current experimental study is to evaluate the energy performance of the component and to study the impact of solar integration on the building internal environment.
The paper resumes the early results from the first stage of the experimental study. Then it presents the experimental installation with the prototype façade elements. Afterwards, it details the experimental approach and presents the mounted data acquisition system used during the experimental tests. Finally it summarizes the experimental results obtained so far.
