Hygrothermal system-performance of a whole building

open access: yesBuilding and Environment, 2001
In 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

open access: yesJournal of Building Physics, 2018
The 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 and Damage Risk of Green Roofs

open access: yes, 2012
Green 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.

Hygrothermal performance of hempcrete for Ontario (Canada) buildings

Journal of Cleaner Production, 2017
Abstract Hempcrete is a bio-aggregate based composite material used for building envelopes which typically consists of hemp shiv (hurd), lime binder and water. Hempcrete has several distinct advantages including low thermal conductivity, effective moisture buffering, and high sound absorption, while having a high carbon sequestration “index”.

Hygrothermal performance of various Typha–clay composite

open access: yesJournal of Building Physics, 2018
This article deals with the influence of both morphology and amount of Typha on hygrothermal behavior of a Typha–clay composite for building application. An agromaterial containing the fiber mix of Typha Australis and clay was made in three samples: three fiber mixtures were prepared with different amounts Typha and cut type (transversal or ...
