“…Usually, the hygrothermal performance simulation programs are not concerned with the multilayered conditions of the interior spaces, while taking account of the exterior climatic conditions. In contrast, DELPHIN is capable to analyze the temperature and relative humidity in building components through processes considering the probable variety of parameters for hygrothermal analysis [28].…”

The aim of this research is to evaluate the hygrothermal performances of traditional timber-framed houses' exterior walls in Turkey to create a base case scenario of hygrothermal behavior as a datum for conservation and restoration projects. There is a unique range of traditional timber-framed houses in Turkey varied according to geographical, social, economic, and cultural characteristics. They are hybrid constructions whereby an infilled timber-framed system is erected on the masonry walls. They are compositions of rectangular studs of wood and infill materials such as adobe, stone, and brick. Most constructed examples may be classified in groups of four depending on infill materials as follows: (1) timber-framed adobe infill, (2) timber-framed brick infill, (3) timber-framed stone infill, and (4) unfilled timber-framed. Within the scope of the research, one example from each type is selected for hygrothermal performance assessments by applying the simulation program DELPHIN 6.1.1. This research is concentrated on the evaluation of hygrothermal performances of the selected types over 4 years (January 01, 2010-January 01, 2014) by investigating the temperature, relative humidity, U-value, and moisture mass model graphics of the cross-section of the wall samples. 2010 was one of the rainiest years and 2013 was one of the less rainy years in the selected locations for the last 10 years. The findings of this paper indicate that when factors such as construction details, materials, and climatic conditions are varied, there may be humidity-based problems in the selected examples. In that case, intersection points of materials, layers, and their relationships should be re-evaluated to improve the hygrothermal performances of the selected walls for conservation and restoration projects.

“…The majority of the hygrothermal performance simulation programs disregarded the multi-layered conditions of the interiors, while concentrating on the outdoor spaces' climatic conditions. In terms of probabilistic approach for hygrothermal analysis, Delphin, the hygrothermal performance simulation tool, gives opportunities to examine the parameters of temperature and relative humidity for building components during the processes [17].…”

The study aims to analyse hygrothermal performance of traditional timber-framed houses in order to discuss building skins' energy efficiency. There are numerous types of traditional timber-framed houses in Anatolia depending on social, cultural and regional features. Within the scope of this paper, the traditional architectural features of Safranbolu County of Turkey is selected as the case study. Safranbolu is placed in the Western Black Sea region, where specific examples of traditional timber-framed constructions with adobe infill are housed. As a significant example, "hımış" is a hybrid construction of stone masonry walls on ground level, and infilled timber-frame walls in upper levels. The construction of hımış is organized by rectangular studs of pinewood, and infill material of adobe. Wooden diagonals, which cope with the dynamic loads, especially earthquake, support the system and provide long-term durability for these buildings. In this study, hımış construction wall type with adobe infill is selected. The selected example is simulated by Delphine 6.0 for the evaluation of hygrothermal performance. Considering energy efficiency, hygrothermal performance is investigated by heat transfer and moisture control in order to raise awareness of traditional timber-framed capacities. The main purpose to focus on hygrothermal performance analysis is to integrate indigenous knowledge into contemporary architecture regarding social, economic and cultural characteristics in a sustainable manner. The expected outcome of this study is the determination of the selected type of traditional timber-framed buildings' hygrothermal performance.
