Abstract:
The advanced hygrothermal modeling of building materials was presented using a state-of-the-art model called MOISTURE-EXPERT. The models included important transport processes which provided building envelope designer methods for predicting the response of an envelope system to exterior and interior excitation. Five levels of unintentional water penetration were examined and the hygrothermal performance of a conventional stucco-clad wood frame wall was investigated. The approach to moisture engineering assessment of building envelope systems provided a useful method for evaluation and optimization of the designs.
