• Hygrothermal material properties of bio-based insulators were determined. Bio-based materials provide high thermal resistance and water vapour permeability. Properties insulations are comparable with conventional materials. performance buildings is one key element to the sustainable design, health, comfort indoor environment. Building sustainability depends on all associated lifespan stages, ...

The study investigates through hygrothermal modelling the effect of different boundary conditions and varying measured vapour diffusion resistivity values on performance five pliable membranes. Previously, this research quantified variable water properties building membranes were assessed under humidity using gravimetric wet dry cup test method. better represent experienced by materials in enve...
