    Concept:

    rain on walls, rain precipitation

    Rain fall on wall

    Rain water pattern on wall (Zhu, D., 1995, Quantative studies driving rain exposure on a vertical building facade in an urban area)

    Experimental studies

    Simulation studies

    analysis by numerical simulation on building whose envelope is constructed by moisture absorbing materials WITHOUT moisture barrier on out surface of it.

    for natural room climate

    * after rain, room temperature falls

    * room relative humidity rises, due to moisture inflow from exterior wall to room

    * moisture absorbing wall damp the rise of room rh during and after rain

    for building with air conditioning system, cooling load is affected by rain precipitation

    * sensible heat load descries, latent heat load increase, total heat load increases slightly, the effect on heat load continue more than two weeks
