| Abstract: |
| This paper describes the design, calibration, and use of a new solar calorimeter for the Canadian environment, which has recently been built at the Solar Calorimetry Laboratory, located at Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario. Design of the calorimeter was aided by previous experience in calorimeter construction. As such, the calorimeter has many features that have proven successful in other calorimeter designs, along with some innovations. This experience also suggested that a small calorimeter, that incorporates several key features, could enable rapid testing of small window samples. The calorimeter was designed to be portable, and has been used both in and out of doors. This facility should allow for the accurate determination of the optical and thermal performance of fenestration, and has research and commercial applications. |
