Living Lab is a multipurpose experimental facility built by Zero Emission Buildings, Faculty of Architecture and Fine Arts, NTNU.

The Living Laboratory is a test facility that is occupied by real persons using the building as their home. The focus is on the occupants and their use of innovative building technologies like intelligent control of installations and equipment, interactive user interfaces and interplay with the energy system as a whole.
  

The Living Laboratory is a test facility that is occupied by real persons using the building as their home. The focus is on the occupants and their use of innovative building technologies like intelligent control of installations and equipment, interactive user interfaces and interplay with the energy system as a whole.

 

The Living Laboratory is used to study various technologies and design strategies in a real world living environment:

  • User centred development of new and innovative solutions: The test facility is used within a comprehensive design process focusing on user needs and experiences.
  • Performance testing of new and existing solutions: Exploring building performance in a context of realistic usage scenarios.
  • Detailed monitoring of the physical behaviour of the building and its installations as well as the users influence on them.

ZEB researcher within the fields of architecture, social science, materials science, building technologies, energy technologies, and indoor climate jointly studies the interaction between the physical environment and the users. The Living Laboratory is important in making sure that the solutions developed within ZEB are tested and verified at an early stage. The Living Laboratory strengthens collaboration between industry partners and researchers.
