Hygrothermal performance of various Typha–clay composite
Journal of Building Physics, 2018This 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 ...

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,

Improving Hygrothermal Performance in Epoxy-Biofibre Composites
Advanced Materials Research, 2007Confocal 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 of Lime-Hemp Wall Assemblies
Journal of Building Physics, 2009Lime—Hemp (LH) composites are innovative building materials. They can be used in renovated or thermally upgraded as well as new buildings. This article reviews hygrothermal properties of LH wall assemblies and compares their transient performance to five traditional assemblies using WUFI ® simulation.

Hygrothermal performance of hempcrete for Ontario (Canada) buildings
Journal of Cleaner Production, 2017Abstract 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 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

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 analysis of wind barrier structures
ASHRAE Transactions, 1995The 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.

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.
