Many studies have sought to overcome the two main limitations of the average method of
ISO 9869-1—its long test duration and low accuracy. These studies reported that the …

In arid locations, global warming raises the indoor air temperature and energy utilization of
residential and commercial buildings. Develo** effective passive cooling solutions is …

This research aimed to compare the transport capacity of loose-fill mineral wool, cellulose
fibers, and wood wool to transfer moisture under steady-state conditions. The tests were …

The building envelope is the interface between the external atmospheric conditions and the
indoor environment. It contributes to approximately 60%–70% of the heating and cooling …

This study examines the sustainability of roofs subjected to hot climate of Phoenix and cold
climate of Montréal by using a validated numerical model that simultaneously solves the …

The moisture performance of building envelopes largely depends on the building materials,
construction techniques, and exposure loads from the indoor and outdoor regions. A …
