Case Study 2 - Stack and wind effect

 

Purpose:
To independently verify the fully integrated hourly simulation of building thermal performance, stack and wind effect.
   
Method:
Measurements and verification done separately by two independent institutions.
   
Verification:
Temperature verification results.
