REVen Project: “Energy retrofitting of social housing, using innovative window products satisfying CE marking requirements”. (BIA2014-56650-JIN) aims to carry out a comprehensive analysis of window impact on aspects related to energy efficiency and indoor environmental quality. REVen Laboratory has been built to characterize the energy flows and internal environmental conditions. This article describes the construction and monitoring of this laboratory analyzing the data of its first year of operation. Results can affirm that in the conditions of the test, a significant improvement on thermal comfort is observed obtaining an annual energy saving of 25 %.
