In the context of a European project aimed at developing, upscaling, and testing innovations in building envelope materials and technical systems to reach Nearly Zero Energy Buildings (nZEB) balance, a novel advanced glazing component was conceived to improve energy efficiency while ensuring occupant comfort in terms of thermal comfort and indoor air quality. The aim of this work is to present preliminary results from the experimental characterisation of this technology carried out on a full scale prototype in a South oriented façade of an outdoor test facility. The experimental characterisation presents first results for winter season, in terms of single component and whole system performance. To this sake both conventional performance metrics (i.e. U-value, g-value) and more advanced metrics considering the dynamicity of the components operations (i.e. pre-heating and dynamic insulation efficiencies) are taken into account, considering also the effect of the LHEX as compared to more traditional ventilation strategies (i.e. natural ventilation, decentralised heat recovery).
