Moisture content influence on heat losses in ventilated façade

Abstract

Heat losses due to moisture could become relevant in certain climates. A ventilated façade in concrete, covered with granite slabs, has been tested using Wufi-Pro 6.7 software, previously validated with experimental data. This research assessed the influence of different insulation thicknesses in this façade and their interrelationship with moisture content fluctuation, Uvalue performance variability, and heat losses. The study firmly established a correlation between them.Peer-review under the responsibility of the organizing committee of the ICMB23.
