Hygric properties of porous building materials (VII): Full-range benchmark characterizations of three materials

Material properties are requisite for all coupled heat and moisture transfer analysis, crucial to obtain clear insight into optimized control of the hygrothermal processes in building envelopes built environment. Unfortunately, current databases reported studies fail provide hygric porous materials exhaustively. This study characterized three – calcium silicate, autoclaved aerated concrete ceramic brick. Standardized experimental methods were combined with recent novel techniques. All important storage transport obtained, full humidity range, both absorption desorption. completeness makes this data set valuable scientific community. The results can be used as material simulations benchmarks validation models.
