There are three test houses in the university campus that can be used for user experience tests. The air flow, relative indoor humidity and indoor temperature can be monitored and controlled. The houses are equal in size, but differ in interior materials. Interior walls and ceiling are made of gypsum board, plywood or solid wood panels. The floor in all three houses is made of solid wood.
