Convection through Light Weight Timber Constructions with Mineral Wool
The major part of light weight timber constructions consists of insulation. Mineral wool is the most commonly used insulation due to its cost efficiency and easy handling. The fiber orientation and porosity of this insulation material enables flowthrough. The air flow resistance is low. If leakage occurs in the insulated bay section, the convective flow may cause energy losses and infiltration ...
متن کاملSound insulation in multi-story timber buildings
During on an extensive investigation of a multi-story timber building with light-frame construction, several stages of the building process and their impact on sound transmission were observed. The sound insulation properties of the building components were measured before and while the buildings were occupied. Furthermore, interviews with the occupants were conducted. This procedure made it po...
متن کاملSoft Computing for detecting thermal insulation failures in buildings
Improved detection of thermal insulation efficiency in buildings could substantially contribute to reductions in energy consumption and the carbon footprint of domestic heating systems. Thermal insulation standards are now contractual obligations at the construction stage, although they are not standardized in buildings that are already in operation: lighting, occupancy and temperature profiles...
متن کاملMineral Wool Production Monitoring Using Neural Networks
Homogeneity of the primary layer in mineral wool production process is required for high quality products. State-of-the-art measurement techniques for the evaluation of primary layer homogeneity are very slow and can only be applied after the product is manufactured. We present here a method that enables on-line monitoring and control and is based on experimental modeling using neural networks....
متن کاملImage analysis of insulation mineral fibres.
We present two methods for measuring the diameter and length of man-made vitreous fibres based on the automated image analysis of scanning electron microscopy images. The fibres we want to measure are used in materials such as glass wool, which in turn are used for thermal and acoustic insulation. The measurement of the diameters and lengths of these fibres is used by the glass wool industry fo...
