The Significance of Using Temperature-Dependent Material Properties in Hygrothermal Performance Assessment of Exterior Wall Systems

Buildings
The reliability of hygrothermal models depends on the quality of their inputs. Conventionally, thermal and moisture properties are treated as temperature-independent, yet previous studies have shown that many of these properties are temperature-dependent.

Hygrothermal Performance of Cool Roofs Subjected to Saudi Climates

Frontiers in Energy Research, 2019
In regions with hot climatic conditions such as that in Saudi Arabia, a substantial share of energy is used for cooling the buildings. Many studies have shown that cool (white) roofs can help reduce the cooling energy load and thus the demand for energy ...

Hygrothermal response of masonry facades with vapour-tight or capillary-active internal insulation under current and future climate scenarios

Built Heritage
Interior thermal insulation has been widely used to improve energy efficiency and indoor comfort of historic buildings. However, traditional vapour-tight insulation materials strongly influence the hygrothermal behaviour of facades, which may lead to ...

Comparison Between Experimental and Simulated Hygrothermal Response of Chopped-Straw- and Cellulose-Insulated Wood Frame Panels

Buildings
Achieving a decarbonized built environment in Canada requires proven, resilient, and scalable building envelope assemblies. In 2022, building operations accounted for 18% of Canada’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, with space heating responsible for ...

Hygrothermal performance of mycelium based thermal insulation

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science
Abstract This study investigates the hygrothermal properties of mycelium-based thermal insulation, a material of increasing interest due to its potential to reuse agricultural and forestry residues, as well as construction waste such as recycled plasterboard.
