The Energy House 2 Project has a requirement to simulate rain in a large environment to accomplish the following: • Rainwater has an array of effects of on the performance of a building; dependent on the porosity of the fabric, rain can increase the thermal conductivity of the element, evaporative cooling can take place following rain fall, and the way in which the boundary layer heat transfer mechanisms are driven will also be affected by rainfall. • The rainwater system will be used in tandem with a wind system which will help provide wind driven rain.
