On the Estimation of Building Components' Exposure to Moisture in Greece using Climatic Data of different Time Resolution

摘要

In this paper the effect of using climatic data of different time resolution on parameters related to building components' exposure to moisture at 39 locations in Greece is investigated. Moisture indices are calculated for each site using average daily, monthly and annual climatic data (both the drying and the wetting potential are considered), and are used for the ranking of the investigated sites regarding building components' moisture loading. The results produced for the relative exposure to moisture, the drying and the wetting potential at the examined sites with the use of data of different time resolution are compared and discussed.
