| Description | On July 2001 an extensive experimental campaign aimed at the assessment of the thermofluodynamic performances of an active envelope was started. The main goals of the experimental campaign, performed on a new office building at the «Environmental scientific and technological Park» (EnviPark) in Turin (Italy), were to determine the heating and cooling load reduction, to evaluate the thermal comfort implications, to define synthetic performance indicators and to assess heat and mass balances in order to evaluate the relative incidence of different energy flux components. The analysed active envelope consists of a transparent mechanically ventilated façade, made up of an external double glazing and an internal single glazing, separated by an air gap with a venetian blind on the inside. The air gap is mechanically ventilated and integrated with the HVAC system. The façade, in fact, is used as the exhaust outlet of the HVAC system, taking the air from the indoor environment through an opening located in the lower part of the façade. The temperature, heat fluxes and air velocities in the ventilated façade were continuously monitored by a measurement apparatus that makes use of 32 sensors (thermocouples, heatfluxmeters, hot wire anemometer and solarimeters) which are connected to a suitable datalogger. The monitoring period lasted a whole year. The year round field monitoring that was performed on the active envelope is described in this paper, focusing attention on the measurement techniques that were adopted and on a first data analysis, concerning both the investigation of the physical phenomena that the façade is subject to, and the assessment of the performance of the façade in terms of energy efficiency and thermal comfort.
