## Information

#### Overview

Twin House N2 is part of the empirical validation:

The Frauenhofer Institute for Building Physics (IBP) created two identical full scale buildings in Holzkirchen Germany in the course of reproducing building energy performances based on measurement data.
The Twin House N2 was implemented as part of the IEA EBC Annex 58.

Air exchange rates:

- n50 = 1.62 1/h due to air leakage
- n = 120 m3/h caused by mechanical ventilation system

Building specifications give information about experimental schedule (temperatures are maintained through specified heat inputs in every room):

- Day 1-7: Initialization: constant 30°C in each room
- Day 8-14: Constant 30°C in each room
- Day 15-28:ROLBS sequence in living roomand no other heat inputs
- Day 29-35: Re-initialization constant 25°C in each room
- Day 36-42: Free-float temperatures

Known Limitations

The experiment takes place on the ground floor of Twin House N2. Measured temperatures within the cellar and attic are used as boundary conditions for the ground floor.
