A SYSTEMATIC METHOD FOR HYGROTHERMAL ANALYSIS OF BUILDING CONSTRUCTIONS USING COMPUTER MODELS

摘要

Knowledge of the expected long-term perfbrmance of rnbuilding envelopes subjected to simultaneous heat rnand moisture transport is critical during the design rnstage.The last few years a number of practical rnhwrothermal simulation models have been rndeveloped that can be used to analyse the combined rnheat and moisture behaviour of building rnconstructions.However,kygrotkermal analysis using rncomputer-tools is not a stra&htfbrward task.In this rnpaper is presented a general systematic method for rnkygrotkermal analysis of building constructions by rnthe use of simulation models.The method is applied rnon a deslgn case of a wood frame wall,evaluating rnthe risk for mould growth within the construction.
