Most of Portuguese residential building stock is obsolete in terms of thermal comfort and, as a result, they have poor energy performance. One of the main reasons for the poor performance are structural thermal bridges on façades, which are areas where thermal energy is significantly lost during the heating season. To solve this problem, a novel approach of the Trombe wall system, named Solar Bridge Retrofit Solution (SBRS), was proposed. This paper presents the experimental measuring procedure designed to assess the thermal behaviour of the SBRS, during the heating and cooling season. Several experimental results are also presented and analysed.
