The objective of this work is to quantify the effects short-term climate change with a multiyear (MY) approach on results heat and moisture transfer simulations an historic building located in Udine (Italy) evaluate if single year simulation could be representative obtained MY. hygrothermal performance related risk are evaluated for brick wall without insulation, MY 25 years three selected form...

The majority of contemporary insulation materials commonly used in the building industry is made from non-renewable raw materials; furthermore, their production often brings high energy costs. A long-term trend as far as sustainable development is concerned has been the reduction of energy and material demands of building material production. One of the solutions is the possibility of using eas...

• 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, ...
