in full-scale outdoor lab tests.
3. Provide guidelines and methods for testing materials, building envelope components and systems, with particular
focus on performance in operating conditions, long-term performances and useful service life assessment.
4. Optimise, compare and validate characterisation procedures (in order to reduce time and cost, especially for long term
performance characterization) throughout the developed test cases in the iclimabuilt consortium.
5. Demonstrate the capability of the consortium to provide services for material level characterization (TRL 4-5) and
the building component level performance characterisation (TRL 5-6) to support development of smart materials and solutions within the building envelope industry.
Work package Leader: NTNU
Objectives:
1. Document and assess existing monitoring approaches, methodologies and tools for living laboratories across Europe
2. Develop robust long-term monitoring approaches, methodologies and tools to evaluate new and improved highperformance building envelope materials and integrated systems in living laboratories,
- based on full-scale testing of building envelope materials and components, also providing input to company
feedback protocols/procedures - based on occupant/user feedback
3. Evaluate and demonstrate the integrated test cases from WP3 to verify their performance in the iclimabuilt living laboratories, and at the same time evaluate and demonstrate the monitoring procedures
4. Analyze the sustainability of materials and test cases (from WP3), provide feedback to material/system developers, and establish clear reporting format and tools
5. Provide feedback to the iclimabuilt ecosystem on full-scale testing, user involvement and sustainability evaluation
