Hukseflux heat flux sensors are the most popular selling sensors worldwide for building physics and efficiency measurement studies; also see Hukseflux pyranometers (for building physics research). See reference users for application use and applicable sensor products.

Building Physics
With ever increasing energy costs, the science of building physics analysis has gained high interest by engineers and businesses alike, seeking methods for optimizing building energy efficiency.

Hukseflux is the leading worldwide supplier of heat flux sensors for meteorological and industrial based heat flux measurement, including fully integrated turnkey system solutions for thermal resistance and thermal transmittance analysis. The Hukseflux HFP01 model heat flux sensor is the most widely sold heat flux sensor for building physics analysis. The HFP01sensor is integrated standard as part of the Hukseflux TRSYS01 Thermal Resistance Measurement System. The TRSYS01 system is commonly used for building envelop thermal resistance analysis, in accordance with ISO-9869 and ASTM C1155 / C1046 standards.

Solar loading effect also plays a significant role on building thermal energy transfer and building energy efficiency. Hukseflux pyranometers are often used to quantify solar irradiance impacting a building/structure. Automated systems can be programmed to open or close building shutters/blinds to minimize solar induced heating effect during warmer summer months, or ventilator ducts activated during cooler seasons to make use of the solar generated heat resource where needed. See SR11 and LP02 pyranometer models.
