Climate Change Testing Center
In order to better respond to climate change, KCL will establish a climate change testing center for evaluation of overall performance, mock-up testing and component scale performance evaluation, and experimentation of materials, construction facilities and equipment.
Establishment of large / medium / small climate change experiment facility
-
Large-sized climate change lab
- Size: 20 m(L) x 25 m(D) x 20 m(H)
- Temperature: -10~+ 60 ˚C
- Humidity: 10~ + 90 %
- Solar insolation: 800 W/m2~1,200 W/m2
- Rain: 150 mm/h or more
- Snow: Max. 50 mm/h -
Medium-sized climate change lab
- Size: 10 m(L) x 10 m(D) x 4.5 m(H) – 2 chambers
- Temperature: -30~ +80˚C
- Humidity: 10~ + 90 %
- Solar insolation / rain / snow: Same as above -
Small-sized climate change lab
- Size: 5 m(L) x 5 m(D) x 3.5 m(H) – 2 chambers
- Temperature: -40~ + 80˚C
- Humidity: 10~ + 90 %
- Solar insolation / rain / snow: Same as above
Utilization of labs
- Evaluation of environmental performance of life-sized structures
- Evaluation of performance of samples and materials in structures
- Evaluation of the performance of construction facilities and equipment
