INFLUENCE OF THE HUMIDITY OF STRUCTURAL MATERIALS ON THE OVERALL HEAT TRANSMISSION COEFFICIENT.

Author(s) : AVGERINOS J. A., BOURKAS P. D., MACHIAS A. V.

Summary

THE MAXIMUM INCREASE OF THE OVERALL HEAT TRANSMISSION COEFFICI ENT ON AN OUTSIDE WALL WHICH IS USUALLY CONSTRUCTED IN GREECE IS CALCULATED WHEN NO WATER VAPOUR BARRIER HAS BEEN PLAC FROM THE RESEARCH, UNDERTAKEN BY MEANS OF A COMPUTER FOR DIFFERENT AREAS IT SEEMS THAT THE HEAT INSULATION STUDY MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY A MOISTURE INSULATION STUDY. WHEN THE WALL IS NOT PROPERLY INSULATED AGAINST MOISTURE THEN THE OVERALL HEAT TRANSMISSION COEFFICIENT OF THE WALL BECOMES HIGHER RESULTING IN THE INCREASE OF THE HEATING EXPENSES BECAUSE OF THE OBJECTIVELY LARGER LOSSES OF THE BUILDING.
