MOISTURE-BUFFERING EFFECT – EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATIONS AND VALIDATION

Succeeding to the experimental investigations in the two test rooms at FhG the results provide for acommon exercise in context of the IEA-Annex 41 project to validate several simulation tools. Theintention of this common exercise is to simulate two real test rooms which are located at the outdoortesting site of the Fraunhofer-Institute of building physics in Holzkirchen. During the winter time testswere carried out with the aim to compare the measurements with the models developed within theIEA-Annex 41 project. As moisture buffering material served gypsum boards.
