Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to present the specifications and standardization process for the development of a controlled environment test unit. Research on the topic of energy radiation, conduction and convection has focused on the testing of materials and composite wall construction to prevent energy transfer in buildings. However, after energy has entered a building, investigation of the dispersion of the transferred energy has been neglected. This research note presents a method of building and standardizing such a facility enabling researchers to explore air dispersion when introducing energy into a human-scale closed room.
