Title
Combined Heat And Moisture Transfer In Buildings And Structures
Abstract
Accurate modeling of combined heat and moisture transfer in building systems is important in predicting the indoor conditions, loads, comfort levels, degradation and deterioration of building components, and performance of mechanical equipment. Several approaches can be taken to study the combined heat and moisture transport behavior of building materials. This paper describes a simplified approach of modeling moisture transport in buildings. The building domains, energy and moisture balance equations involving moisture adsorption and desorption of building materials are discussed in detail. The assumptions, parameters required and limitations of the model are also addressed. A public domain program, TRNSYS 12.2, is modified using the model developed in this paper.
