Hygrothermal performance analysis at the wall scale based on various hysteresis models [PDF]
E3S Web of ConferencesThe 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.

Towards moisture safe ventilated cold attics – Monitored conditions in a full-scale test building [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2020 Existing building stock in Europe accounts for approx. 40% of the total energy consumption. Upgrading the thermal insulation of the existing buildings is an important measure to reduce heat losses through the building envelope.

Hygrothermal Performance of Worship Spaces: Preservation, Comfort, and Energy Consumption [PDF]
Sustainability, 2018 The energy problem, one the most important on a global scale, greatly affects the environment. Much of the current energy consumption occurs in existing buildings, including heritage buildings with varying protected status. Energy intervention and heritage conservation conflict to some extent, as research focuses more on the search for improved energy ...

Hygrothermic performance of the exterior and interior surfaces of buildings [PDF]
WIT Transactions on Ecology and the Environment, 2008 One of the current tasks of building physics is to find solutions in sense of the sustainability. That means we must save heating energy and raw materials. Therefore we have to develop building envelope parts with innovative characteristics. This paper shows the coupled heat and moisture transfer at adjacent areas of surfaces of the envelope parts of ...

Development of prefabricated insulation elements for buildings with aerated autoclaved concrete walls [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2020 An extensive need for the refurbishment and renewal of existing building stock has been the focus of consideration for many decades, principally because of the high global energy consumption and pollution levels.
