Hygrothermal performance analysis at the wall scale based on various hysteresis models [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences
The hygrothermal performance of building components (e.g., exterior walls) influences indoor thermal and humidity conditions as well as the energy consumption of associated heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) systems.

Hygrothermal performance of bio-based insulation materials [PDF]

Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Construction Materials, 2013
Bio-based insulation materials have the potential to make a significant contribution to the reduction in the global warming potential of the construction industry world-wide. They contribute in two ways. First they provide the opportunity to reduce the embodied energy in the fabric of buildings.

Hygrothermal Properties and Performance of Sea Grass Insulation [PDF]

, 2008
Historically, sea grass has been known and used for years as thermal insulation material. However, it is not recognized as a contemporary building material, and thus information regarding its hygrothermal properties and performance in modern constructions is scarce.

Hygrothermal Modeling of Masonry with Interior Insulation Retrofit - Perspectives on hygrothermal performance and modeling-uncertainty

Energy retrofit of existing buildings is mainly an endeavor to reduce energy consumption. Interior insulation retrofit of masonry falls among retrofit measures in this regard. However, interior insulation of masonry may give rise to hygrothermal risks in the structure. Thus, hygrothermal analysis of solutions for such retrofit becomes paramount.

Hygrothermal performance of vernacular stone in a desert climate [PDF]

Construction and Building Materials, 2019
Remote desert communities are often the most vulnerable to temperature extremes, as lack of access to reliable electricity prevents the use of active cooling or heating. Hence, there is a need to investigate how the building envelope itself can be used to passively regulate indoor environments.
