Data
and experiments for building energy performance
This page provides a description of data for building energy performance. The data stems a series of experiments carried out in the February to April 2009 in FlexHouse, Risø DTU.
Five experiments were carried out such that a range from controlled toward common living conditions is covered. A short description of each experiment is given here:
PRBS1: A single PRBS signal controlled all the heaters in the building and the building was closed, such that the condition of the building wasn't changed during the experiment. (7 days)
PRBS2: The house was divided into three seperate areas, in which the heaters were controlled with a PRBS signal independent of the other areas (6 days).
THERM1: Thermostatic control of the heaters, with no activity in the house (10 days).
THERM2: Thermostatic control of the heaters with activity in the house (13 days).
THERM3: Thermostatic control of the heaters with activity and added thermal mass inside the house (22 days).
Financed by the Danish Energy Saving Trust

The data set and experiments is documented in two reports:
Data report: A report of the experiments and format of the data set. High resolution data with an appr. 2 second sampleperiod and a resampled data set of 5 minute average values is described.
