The project, classified under the CPV code 45240000 for construction work related to water projects, has a budget of £30,000. The tender is currently in the open stage, with submissions due by 28th August 2020. Construction for the facility is set to begin on 1st September 2020, and will take approximately 12 months to complete. Interested companies can find further details and submit their bids through the University's InTend portal. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in construction and water management systems to grow their operations, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Companies that have experience in similar projects or those involved in innovative building technologies and environmental simulation would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The project will not only enhance the capabilities of the Energy House laboratory but also contribute to advancing sustainable building practices on a global scale. ## Notice Energy House 2 (EH2) is a large-scale building physics test laboratory to be built at the University of Salford Manchester. The project Is part funded by the ERDF. The construction will begin in summer 2020 with the construction period set to last 12 months. The project builds on the successful Energy House project :(https://www.salford.ac.uk/built-environment/laboratories-and-studios/energyhouse ). A video of the project can be found here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oP3bsXeQKYU EH2 will be a unique facility and one of most advanced building test facilities on the planet. It has the following features: * 2 large chambers capable of having 2 family homes built in each one (4 homes in total) * Temperature controlled to within 0.5 degC from -20degC to +40 degC * Wind, rain, solar radiation and snow can be generated * These conditions provide testing facilities for housing covering 95% of the global population. The Energy House 2 Project has a requirement to simulate rain in a large environment to accomplish the following: * Rainwater has an array of effects of on the performance of a building; dependent on the porosity of the fabric, rain can increase the thermal conductivity of the element, evaporative cooling can take place following rain fall, and the way in which the boundary layer heat transfer mechanisms are driven will also be affected by rainfall. * The rainwater system will be used in tandem with a wind system which will help provide wind driven rain.
