... and drying behavior of CLT wall assemblies can be studied by hygrothermal simulations in which a deterministic approach is normally used. However, in reality, there are always uncertainties in input parameters—such as material properties, environmental loads, and design variables—that may lead...

... This paper describes a small study carried out using a hygrothermal simulation tool to investigate the sensitivity of wall performance results to uncertainty in the amount of rain impinging on the wall. Design standards for hygrothermal analysis of proposed designs include methods for selecting...

... Hygrothermal simulation programs (HSPs) have the potential to help the way building enclosures are designed if end users are convinced the results are reliable. However, HSPs suffer from a lack of manufacturer-specific material data. HSP users often “create” materials by scouring multiple...
