WHAT IS A CO-HEATING TEST?

摘要

If you've not heard of a co-heating test before, don't worry, you're not alone. It's still a relatively new phenomenon in the UK and it's the only way to get a definitive answer of what the as-built heat loss of a dwelling is, rather than what the design calculations predict.rnIt involves heating the inside of the dwelling using electric heaters to an average temperature, typically 25℃. This temperature is then held for a period of between one and three weeks and the amount of energy needed to maintain the temperature is measured.
