Discover the EnerGhentIC labs!
We have some very interesting test infrastructure at our disposal in the three UGent campusses: Gent, Kortrijk & Oostende. In these labs the EnerGhentIC researchers can perform tests to verify your research.
E-Cube | Zero Energy Test House
The E-cube is a zero energy test house for researchers developing energy efficient building components and systems. It is a full scale test facility to investigate innovations designed for the zero energy buildings of the future in realistic climatic conditions.
Flanders Maritime Laboratory
This maritime laboratory integrates two facilities, a towing tank and a wave basin. Ghent University, the Catholic University of Leuven and Flanders Hydraulics Research will use the wave basin, the Coastal and Ocean Basin (COB) to study the impact of waves, tides and wind on ships and coastal and offshore structures. Ghent University and Flanders Hydraulics Research will use the towing tank to study ship maneuvering in shallow water conditions.
