Air permeameter for porous building materials: Aalborg University prototype 2023
Full text linkThe aim of this lecture note is to present the first prototype of an air permeameter for porous building material built at Aalborg University, Department of the Built Environment. This air permeameter setup is primarily intended for porous insulation materials but could be used for all types of materials fitting the sample frame.This lecture note also provides guidelines to operate this air permeameter and perform a state-of-the-art measurement of the effective air permeability
Basic Troubleshooting for Experimental Equipment
Full text linkThe aim of this lecture note is to provide some basic knowledge and guidelines to troubleshoot typical problems occurring in experimental facilities and laboratories of Aalborg University, Department of the Built Environment [1], concerning only experimental equipment and instruments that perform measurements. This troubleshooting guidelines focus on the measurement capabilities of such equipment. Many of those common problems are due to a lack of caution when setting equipment up. It is thus believed that following the simple advice, guidelines and good practices of this document will probably solve 99% of all problems encountered by the operators

Laboratory guide: How to perform temperature measurements using Type K thermocouples and Fluke Helios Plus 2287A datalogger
Full text linkTemperature measurements with thermocouples are often used in the field of building physics to measure the temperature distribution in building materials, measure air temperature in ducts or window cavities, etc., and it is, therefore, important to have a good understanding of how to conduct measurements properly to get precise results. The aim of this Lecture Note is to detail the practical procedure of using type K thermocouples with a Helios Fluke 2287A datalogger, and a compensation box system at Aalborg University, Department of the Built Environment (https://www.en.build.aau.dk/). Furthermore, it will also serve as a guide for preparing and executing calibration for thermocouples. This Lecture Note will explain how to set up the entire measurement procedure, background information for the different components, and how to prepare it for calibration. The calibration procedure and the equipment involved are also explained. <br/
