Hygrothermal Performance of Timber External Walls Insulated with Natural and Industrial Materials
Abstract The test house with special timber structure was built by the department of rural building of Estonian University of Life Sciences. The hygrothermal properties of sawdust and cellulose, used as insulation materials in building envelope, were investigated in long term. The test was carried out during four winters. The wind and moisture-vapor barriers were not applied in the first testing period. In the second testing period the wall was covered inside with the moisture barrier and outside with the wind barrier and the layer of OSB plates. In wintertime the test house was heated with electric batteries to keep the indoors temperature stable. The aim of this research was to measure and determine the thermal transmittance of differently insulated wall sections. To fulfil the task the devices to measure relative moisture and temperature were placed in five different positions (in three depths inside the insulation) and indoors and outdoors. The heat flux plates were applied on the inner surface of the wall. Data were recorded with 10 min interval. The analysis of these test periods was carried out and presented in this paper.
