  • In the Zero Carbon Building Systems Lab, researchers can simulate different climatic conditions to test new building systems, components and materials.

  • An artificial sun made of hundreds of powerful light-​emitting diodes can imitate the path of the sun to test the effect of solar radiation.

  • The lab’s walls, floors and ceilings can be replaced with prototypes so they can be tested on-​site and quickly developed further.
