TestLab Solar Façades: Testing, advice and research.
Customised services for your building project
Our services are based on a solid foundation: In research projects, we develop our testing procedures further and study the strengths and weaknesses of the various methods. In addition, we use these projects to exchange experience at a national and international level. We belong to national and international standards committees. Our consultancy work in planning teams for innovative building projects ensures that we are aware of practical issues.
Customised services: we offer you our know-how in the form of measurements, tests and consultancy. We advise you on the method which will provide the most reliable and economic answer to your questions.
In addition, TestLab Solar Facades is the European Regional Data Aggregator (RDA) for the National Fenestration Rating Council NFRC . European glazing manufacturers that wish to address the North American market with their products must have the relevant data sets reviewed by the European RDA and then entered into a data base in cooperation with the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory LBNL. European manufacturers should submit the required data sets by email to IGDB@ise.fraunhofer.de. The necessary forms can be downloaded from the LBNL page https://windows.lbl.gov/submitting-data. Fraunhofer ISE is willing to advise and support manufacturers during the submission process.
