A State-of-the-Art Thermal Conductivity Analyzer: A Vital Addition to the Larson Building Systems Laboratory
Current Challenge
Research Goal
The primary objective of this project is to acquire state-of-the-art thermal conductivity analyzer (TCA) instrument to initiate new (and strengthen existing) collaborations between materials science and energy performance modeling and simulation by (1) studying thermal behavior of novel material systems and components, (2) investigating dynamic changes to thermal properties of materials and components through aging, and (3) utilizing thermal property data to advance building energy simulation.
