Cel THE MONITORING OF TWO PASSIVE SOLAR HOUSES OF DIFFERENT TYPE, LATITUDE, CLIMATIC CONDITIONS, URBAN ENVIRONMENT AND BUILDING REGULATIONS IS THE CONCERN OF THIS PROJECT. THE FIRST HOUSE IN ATHENS IS A FOUR-STOREY HOUSE OF 210 M2 TOTAL AREA, INCORPORATING A SUNSPACE, TWO TROMBE WALLS AND DIRECT GAIN PASSIVE ELEMENTS. THE SECOND HOUSE IN THERMI, A SUBURB OF THESSALONIKI, IS A TWO STOREY HOUSE OF 200 M2 TOTAL AREA, INCORPORATING A SUNSPACE, TROMBE WALLS AND DIRECT GAIN PASSIVE ELEMENTS. WORK ON THE PROJECT HAS STARTED RECENTLY. THE MAIN PREOCCUPATION OF THE INITIAL STAGE WAS THE DESIGN OF THE MONITORING SYSTEM FOR BOTH HOUSES AND THE SELECTION OF THE APPROPRIATE MEASURING EQUIPMENT. THE AVAILABLE BUDGET ALLOWS FOR THE MEASUREMENT OF THE FOLLOWING PHYSICAL QUANTITIES: SOLAR RADIATION, WIND VELOCITY AND DIRECTION, EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL AIR TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY, AUXILIARY HEATING, HOT WATER AND ELECTRICITY CONSUMPTION AND HEAT FLUX TO ADJACENT BUILDINGS AND TO GROUND. THE MEASURED DATA WILL BE COLLECTED AND PROCESSED BY A DATA LOGGER. SPOT HEAT FLUX AND THERMOGRAPHIC MEASUREMENTS, (WHICH WILL BE PERFOMED IN THESE HOUSES IN THE FRAMEWORK OF ANOTHER PROJECT) WILL ENHANCE THE DATA AND THE ASSOCIATED QUALITY OF RESULTS. DUE TO THE LIMITED BUDGET, THE MEASURING EQUIPMENT WILL BE USED SUCCESSIVELY FOR BOTH HOUSES. THIS POSES THE CHALLENGE TO PRODUCE SUFFICIENT RESULTS IN THE AVAILABLE TIME OF THE PROJECT (ABOUT TWO YEARS) BY USING ESSENTIALLY THE SAME MEASURING EQUIPMENT IN HOUSES OF DIFFERENT TYPE AND CHARACTER. IT IS BELIEVED THAT THIS EFFORT WILL ALSO CONTRIBUTE TO THE DISCUSSION FOR DEVELOPING THE HIGHLY NEEDED TRAVELING LABORATORY FOR RAPID THERMAL CALIBRATION OF HOUSES. THE PAPER DISCUSSES THE MERITS AND DRAWBACKS OF THREE METHODS, "SUBSTRACTIVE METHOD", "REGRESSION ANALYSIS METHOD" AND "SIMULATION ANALYSIS METHOD", IN RELATION TO THE SPECIFIC CHARACTER OF THE HOUSES, THE TIME REQUIREMENTS AND THE SELECTED MONITORING SYSTEM. THE METHODS WILL BE USED FOR THE ANALYSIS OF THE ABOVE MENTIONED PHYSICAL QUANTITIES IN ORDER TO GET ANSWERS ON THE THERMAL PERFORMANCE AND COMFORT. NO MATTER OF THE METHOD OF ANALYSIS, GOOD AIR INFILTRATION MEASUREMENTS SEEM TO BE A MAJOR REQUIREMENT IN ORDER TO GET GOOD ANSWERS.
