Full-scale ventilation of the Silsoe cube, isolated and in an array (Refresh Cube)
Field On request
Full-scale Silsoe campaign on a 6 m cube, isolated and within an array of straw cubes, with three opening set-ups each. Ventilation was measured with pressure and tracer methods alongside internal and external flow, temperature and pressure; useful for cross-ventilation studies.

Description from the source
The Refresh cube campaign (RCC) was undertaken at Silsoe using the 6 m^3 test structure at the site and eight other 6 m^3 straw cubes. The campaign was undertaken as part of the PhD work of Gough (2017) and forms the full-scale experiments of the REFRESH project. The dataset is split into two sections: an isolated cube and the array case with three different opening set-ups being undertaken for both array and isolated. The array was in place October 2014 to April 2015, and the cube was isolated from May 2015 to July 2015. Ventilation measurements were undertaken using pressure and tracer based methods and internal temperature, pressure and flow were measured throughout. External flow was measured for the isolated and array case.
