Guiding principles concerning design of experiments, instrumentation and measuring techniques.

The report aims to provide the basis for the design and set up of experiments for the evaluation of the effects of energy conservation measures in residential buildings. The first part deals with general planning of the experiment, basic principles of building physics, thermal comfort and energy related behaviour of occupants. The second part decribes the design of the experiment, and the third part is devoted to measurement techniques, data acquisition and installation rules in the different fields of building physics and heating systems. This includes indoor climate and air infiltration measurements. The fourth part deals with monitoring of occupants and their energy related activities.
