Condensation in residential buildings. 2. Hygrothermal analysis.

Author(s) : AYNSLEY R.

Type of article: Article

Summary

Condensation in buildings becomes more of a concern as thermal insulation is increased to improve energy efficiency. Examples of steady-state hygrothermal analysis of Australian brick veneer wall construction in temperate winter conditions are provided, as are reinforced concrete masonry in the tropics. A standard is needed for assessing condensation risk in buildings to establish a consensus on appropriate input data and analysis, and assessment procedures for conducting hygrothermal analysis of Australian construction in all climate zones.
