Hygrothermal system-performance of a whole building
Building and Environment, 2001In this paper the full house hygrothermal performance of an aerated concrete wall system is examined for the hot and humid climate of Miami. The results clearly demonstrated the limited drying potential for the wall system in that climate. The selected exterior thermal insulation strategies and interior vapor control strategies in this study show the ...

Hygrothermal performance of Brazilian gypsum walls
Journal of Building Physics, 2018The aim of this article is to evaluate the hygrothermal behaviour of gypsum walls in the climatic diversity of Brazil, based on the action and interaction between external climatic variables and the facade element. First, a laboratory characterization of material properties for the gypsum was carried out to determine their hygrothermal behaviour ...

Hygrothermal Performance of Gypsum Plaster Houses
Diffusion Foundations, 2017The use of gypsum plaster in building blocks, in Brazil, is still a restricted item, due to lack of knowledge on technology. Another factor that restricts the use of the blocks is the location of the deposits of gypsum, a material that gives rise to the plaster, which are located in the West of the State of Pernambuco, located far from the large ...

Hygrothermal Performance of an Engineered Clay Barrier
MRS Proceedings, 1990ABSTRACTA series of laboratory experiments was conducted to establish the heat-induced moisture movement in a bentonitic clay buffer. The buffer material is proposed as an engineered barrier to isolate a heat-emitting high-level nuclear fuel waste container from its emplacement borehole located in a deep rock repository. In the experimental simulation,

Hygrothermal bridge effects on the performance of buildings
International Communications in Heat and Mass Transfer, 2014Abstract Although the thermal bridge effects on the building energy performance have been presented in the literature, the multidimensional hygrothermal analysis of the building envelope is still a challenge due to many difficulties such as modeling complexity, computer run time, numerical convergence and highly moisture-dependent properties. However,

Hygrothermal performance of a new briquette design
Building and Environment, 1996Abstract Briquette is a building material which is produced by small enterprises and is widely used in some locations in Turkey. In this study, which is supported by the Turkish Scientific and Technological Research Establishment, an appraisal of the briquettes produced in Turkey was made. As the result of this appraisal a new briquette with improved

Analysis of the Hygrothermal Performance of the Lightweight External Cladding
Advanced Materials Research, 2014This paper deals with the hygrothermal performance of timber-frame external cladding in a passive house. The wall and roof assemblies were simulated and analyzed with regard to hygrothermal performance. Different boundary conditions and methods were used for the simulation calculations.

Hygrothermal Performance and Damage Risk of Green Roofs
2012Green roofs become more and more popular especially in cities where they can help to improve the microclimate by reduced peak temperatures compared to conventional roof surfaces. They also reduce the gutter loads by rain water retention and save both heating energy in winter and cooling energy in summer.

Flat roof hygrothermal performance testing and evaluation
International Journal of Building Pathology and Adaptation, 2019Purpose Understanding the dynamic hygrothermal behavior of building elements is very important to ensure the optimal performance of buildings. The Laboratory for Quality Control in Buildings of the Basque Government tested a flat roof designed by a construction company that developed a building to be constructed using prefabricated modules.
