An instrumentation layout was defined for each testing phase to capture the in-plane and out-of-plane response of the different components. The monitoring system included up to 31 displacement transducers, consisting of potentiometers with stroke capacities of 25, 50, 100 and 250 mm. These sensors measured vertical and horizontal relative displacements at selected locations, including the corners of all façade and partition walls on both the interior and exterior sides, allowing the evaluation of local deflections and rotational behaviour. In addition, up to 22 accelerometers (±2 g, ±6 g) were installed on glass panels, opaque clad-ding panels and bracket connections to capture the dynamic response and amplification of acceleration at both component and connection levels. Strain gauges were installed at specific locations to monitor local stress and load transfer mechanisms. These included the glass panels (close to the setting blocks), corner spigots and upper brackets of the timber-glass curtain wall; aluminium frame elements (mullions and transoms) and upper brackets of the aluminium-glass façade; the mid-span of aluminium and bio-based cladding panels and base steel connectors of the ventilated façades; the base of an aluminium stud in the partition wall. To capture global kinematics, optical targets were also placed on the test specimens and on both shake-table platforms, enabling displacement measurements through a camera-based optical tracking system. In addition, video recordings were obtained using GoPro and digital cameras to document specimen behaviour during testing. All strain, displacement and acceleration signals were acquired using a synchronized data acquisition system and controller at a sampling frequency of 256 Hz, ensuring adequate resolution for dynamic analysis and post-processing.

The monitoring system included up to 31 displacement transducers, consisting of potentiometers with stroke capacities of 25, 50, 100 and 250 mm.
