Hygrothermal performance of a new thermal aerogel-based render under distinct climatic conditions [PDF]

Energy and Buildings, 2021
Silica-aerogel is one of the nanomaterials that contributes to increasing the thermal properties, due to its high porosity and low density, and also low thermal conductivity.

Hygrothermal Performance of Gypsum Plaster Houses

Diffusion Foundations, 2017
The 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, 1990
ABSTRACTA 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, 2014
Abstract 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, 1996
Abstract 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, 2014
This 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.

Flat roof hygrothermal performance testing and evaluation

International Journal of Building Pathology and Adaptation, 2019
Purpose 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.

Improving Hygrothermal Performance in Epoxy-Biofibre Composites

Advanced Materials Research, 2007
Confocal microscopy and water diffusivity measurements were used to characterise the development of defects in biofibre-reinforced composite materials. Biofibres swelled more than the matrix when the specimen was immersed in water, but the associated distortion of the matrix rarely caused defects.

Hygrothermal performance analysis of wind barrier structures

ASHRAE Transactions, 1995
The paper presents requirements for the airtightness of wind barriers and results of the hygrothermal analysis of wind barrier structures. The studied wind barrier structures were typical for small houses in Finland-timber-framed structures with lightweight glass wool thermal insulation.
