Experiment #A6 At the Interlock

Published March 28, 2015
The CBER Team

Team CBER ran their sixth experiment (Mar7-8th) at the interlock. Using  over 70 sensors the team made time not only to set up but to also meet with Mike our mechanical specialist and run through some test. The team meet with the occupants on strategies for creating a confortable environment while maintaining a non-hassle routine.

Wind Testing with Senors Nov.24-25th

Published December 30, 2013

This test ran on Nov. 24-25th was Experiment #A3 which evaluated the system design and temperature profile in the Interlock House for passive heating and natural cooling. 

Testing started at 2:25pm Nov 24th and ended 4:30pm 25th. The Weather was sunny the 24th and cloudy the 25th. All data collection showed good stratification. Our new radiation shield design is working great.

Sensor Trees Nearing Completion

Published September 12, 2013

Extremely mobile and easily adjustable, these sensor trees have been designed to take accurate measurements at designated heights throughout the Interlock house. These devices will make it possible to accuire accurate readings different heights throughout the house. The wonderful thing about the design of these poles is that they are not restrained to one type of sensor; for our first test, we will be using thermistors with the poles to measure temperature, but afterwards the poles can be easily modified to use other relevent sensors, such as anemometers (detects wind speed).
