Abstract
This paper relates to a concrete sustainable development project. A small scale timber frame house (1/10 scale) has been designed, directly inspired by “Napevomo” house presented in solar decathlon challenge 2009. The building itself was already described in a previous paper. It has been manufactured according to the real strict and recent new French standard RT2012 which aims to improve the global thermal and environmental performances of the houses. Infrared imaging and temperature measurements are firstly detailed. Then, an equivalent thermal modelling of the small scale house is build. Global thermal behaviour under various conditions is simulated. Finally, results are compared to experiments thanks to a 3D VRML graphical visualisation, to validate the modelling.
