Research

Extensive temperature and humidity trials have shown that the Thermal Haven Nest Boxes® have a thermal profile comparable to a tree hollow.

  • Thermal profile testing undertaken in full sun / unshaded (facing north).

  • Thermal profile of a hollow (2—3 degrees cooler than ambient during the day, 2-3 degrees warmer than ambient at night). The graph below reflects data taken during summer months.

  • More than 30 designs were tested in outside conditions over 2 years.

  • Thermal Haven Nest Boxes temperature performance improves significantly as nest box “greys off”.

  • Thermal profile allows for installation in full sun without overheating.

​Test Setup

  • All nest boxes fully exposed to sun from dawn – dusk

  • All boxes facing north (worst aspect for Nest Boxes)

  • Boxes fitted with temperature/ humidity loggers

  • Aim to find most appropriate box for full sun exposure
