The main goal of a research project on wind barriers was to get more information about the influence of wind pressure on the heat loss from wood frame constructions. The project was divided into three parts: calculations, hot-box measurements and wind pressure measurements on a rotatable test house, The theoretical studies as well as the experimental investigations in the hot-box, have been restricted to one specific type of forced convection in the thermal insulation, called "anblasning", i.e.

DAMP is an 'Expert System' or 'Knowledge Based System' (KBS) to aid diagnosis of causes of moisture damage found in buildings in New Zealand. This paper gives an outline of the current version of DAMP, which is still under development at the Building Research Association of New Zealand, operating in the CLASS language developed at University of Auckland with BRANZ support.
