3360 -- Design and Laboratory Testing of a Portable Thermoelectric Calorimeter for Measuring Heat Flow Through Walls PDF

A portable wall calorimeter having a thermoelectric heat pump was designed, constructed, and tested in the laboratory. This calorimeter measures heat flow through a building wall during the summer heat gain as well as the winter heat loss season. The design, testing and validation of the accuracy of the calorimeter are presented.
