LoginAttic moisture control is one of the key issues addressed by the hygrothermal design of wood-frame houses. In general, exfiltration and natural ventilation are recognized as the main factors in determining the hygrothermal behaviour of an attic. Thus, hygrothermal analysis using a network flow model should be performed in order to predict the...

Requirements of Airtightness for Moisture Control in Attic based on Whole Building HAM Model | 2009 | English
Airtightness and energy use of an Swedish office building - measurements and calculations | 2009 | English
The airtightness of office buildings influences energy use and thermal comfort. A leaky office building is likely to have a high use of energy and thermal discomfort. Except for a study carried out in the USA, the knowledge of real airtightness levels of buildings and their impact on the energy use is very low,. Therefore two different methods of...
