energie.design lab

As a result of several years of research work by the ai:L in the field of facade development and building physics, the institute has laboratory and measuring technology at its disposal with which various types of building climate measured values can be determined locally. These include U-values of building components, room temperatures and humidity, air tightness, sound levels, luminance and global radiation. In addition, we have access to a CNC milling machine and a 3D printer with which models and prototypes of all kinds can be produced.

The measurement technology at a glance:

Infrared camera
Flir E6, Ex series

The IR camera detects temperature differences < 0.06 °C. An advantage for building inspections and moisture investigations in building components where thermal temperature differences are often minimal.

Data logger
Ahlborn 2890-9

The universal data logger has a total of 9 measurement inputs and an internal measured value memory as well as an external storage option for an SD card. In addition, it has 2 outputs for USB, RS232, Ethernet and analog.

Data logger
Ahlborn 2590-2

The universal data logger has two measurement inputs, an internal measured value memory and an external storage option. It has outputs for USB, RS232, Ethernet and analog and is suitable for applications with a handheld device.

Sound level meter
Ahlborn MA86193

The measuring range of the digital sound level meter is between 35 and 130 dB with an accuracy of ± 2.0 dB. The frequency weighting can be output in A and C. The meter can be connected to all ALMEMO devices for recording measured values.

Measuring Module Humidity & Temperature, Ahlborn FHAD460 L10

The module enables the digital transmission of measured values from the sensor element to the measuring device in order to avoid errors caused by digital-to-analog conversion in the sensor or analog-to-digital conversion in the measuring device.

Measuring Module Humidity & Temperature, Ahlborn FHAD462

Illuminance measuring head Ahlborn FLA613VL

The measuring head determines the existing area-related luminous flux with the aid of two measuring channels for interior lighting (light-sensitive) or for ambient light (light-insensitive).

Global radiation measuring head Ahlborn FLA613VLM

The measuring head determines the current incoming solar radiation and is particularly suitable for outdoor measurements, e.g. for climate research, in weather information and forecasting systems.

Luminance measuring head
Ahlborn FLA603LDM2

The measuring head is equipped with achromatic corrected, low stray light optics and a high quality V detector according to DIN class B. The external sighting device enables precise aiming of the measurement location.

Meteo multisensor
Ahlborn FMA-510

Compact multi-sensor measuring system for determining the important weather parameters temperature, relative humidity, air pressure, wind speed, wind direction and liquid precipitation.

Thermoelectric flow sensor
Ahlborn FV A605 TA

The sensor is suitable for detecting small flow velocities in gaseous media. Typical applications are measurements for comfort as well as in air conditioning and ventilation technology.

Barometer
Greisinger GMH3161-12

The barometer measures pressures from 0 - 1300 mbar, the resolution is 1 mbar. Its accuracy is ± 0.4 % FS (0 - 50° C). The measuring pressure can be output in the units mbar, bar, kPa, MPa, PSI, mmHg.
