LOW3 is a energetically self-sufficient solar house which, once converted into LIVING LAB at the Sant Cugat Campus allows the experimentation and evaluation of bioclimatic systems, renewable energy systems and low impact construction systems.

The laboratory counts with a 4,0 kWp photovoltaic installation, thermal collectors integrated in the south façade, a innovative low energy HVAC system and a domotic control system with sensors for temperature, relative humidity, CO2 concentration and contact sensors for openings.

LIVING LAB LOW3 fosters teaching and research activities in the field of solar architecture, building simulation and scientific performance evaluation of buildings.
LOW3 has represented the UPC – Barcelona Tech in the international completion SOLAR DECATHLON EUROPE 2010.
