Tests:Test Series One: March 13th - March 28th Test series one's intent was to gather introductory data for both the north and south sides of the building. Information that is needed is the temperature in each of the zones of the space; the north and south rooms from the exterior wall to the interior wall and the hallway that separates the two sides. Hobos were used to measure temperature and humidity in each area. These measurements were taken in mid March with typically overcast and cool weather conditions, Test Series Two: April 17th - May 1st Test series two was aimed at gathering the same information as test series one, but with seasonal changes. The weather conditions were similar, but were on average 10 degrees warmer. Data collection locations were the same as the previous test. This test was to discover how the different seasonal changes of the outdoors effect the temperatures and humidity inside the dorm. These readings tell us how well the existing design is performing in creating comfortable living.
