2010 Ice Challenge
Student groups are to design & build ‘ice cube’ test cells to compare how quick the ice melts in cells built to UK Building Regulations standard and a PassivHaus. This is part of UEL Architecture student's Construction Week.
Test Cells to be designed, build & located at UEL. Process to be filmed and shown at the main Passivhaus Conference in Islington on Oct 11th.
" The experiment shows that with careful detailing and construction, the Passivhaus airtightness standards can be achieved. It also highlights that, compared to a standard Building Regulations cell, the Passivhaus test cell is indeed significantly better at keeping a 'cup of tea' warm, as well as keeping cool and recording more stable internal air temperatures",
