Hygrothermal performance of building components and building elements - Assessment of moisture transfer by numerical simulation

This standard specifies the equations to be used in a simulation method for calculating the non steady transfer of heat and moisture through building structures.  
It also provides a benchmark example intended to be used for validating a simulation method claiming conformity with this standard, together with the allowed tolerances.
The equations in this standard take account of the following storage and one-dimensional transport phenomena:
-   heat storage in dry building materials and absorbed water;
-   heat transport by moisture-dependent thermal conduction;
-   latent heat transfer by vapour diffusion;
-   moisture storage by vapour sorption and capillary forces;
-   moisture transport by vapour diffusion;
-   moisture transport by liquid transport (surface diffusion and capillary flow).
The equations described in this standard account for the following climatic variables:
-   internal and external temperature;
-   internal and external humidity;
-   solar and longwave radiation;
-   precipitation (normal and driving rain);
-   wind speed and direction.
The hygrothermal equations described in this standard shall not be applied in cases where:
-   convection takes place through holes and cracks;
-   two-dimensional effects play an important part (e.g. rising damp, conditions around thermal bridges, effect of gravitational forces);
•   hydraulic, osmotic, electrophoretic forces are present;
daily mean temperatures in the component exceed 50 °C.

Performance hygrothermique des composants et parois de bâtiments - Evaluation du transfert d'humidité par simulation numérique

La présente norme spécifie les équations à utiliser dans le cadre d’une méthode de simulation pour calculer le transfert non stationnaire de chaleur et d’humidité à travers les structures des bâtiments.
Elle fournit également un exemple de référence destiné à être utilisé pour valider une méthode de simulation déclarée conforme à la présente norme, et indique les tolérances admises.
Les équations figurant dans la présente norme prennent en compte les phénomènes unidimensionnels suivants d’accumulation et de transport :
   accumulation de chaleur dans les matériaux de construction secs et eau absorbée ;
   transfert de chaleur par conduction thermique en fonction de l’humidité ;
   transfert de chaleur latente par diffusion de vapeur ;
   accumulation d’humidité par sorption de vapeur et par capillarité ;
   transfert d’humidité par diffusion de vapeur ;
   transfert d’humidité par transport liquide (diffusion de surface et conduction capillaire).
Les équations figurant dans la présente norme prennent en compte les variables climatiques suivantes :
   température intérieure et extérieure ;
   humidité intérieure et extérieure ;
   rayonnement solaire et de grande longueur d’onde ;
   précipitations (normales et pluie battante) ;
   vitesse et direction du vent.
Les équations hygrothermiques figurant dans la présente norme ne doivent pas être appliquées lorsque :
   la convection se produit par des trous et fissures ;
   les effets bidimensionnels jouent un rôle important (par exemple augmentation de l’humidité, conditions autour des ponts thermiques, effet des forces gravitationnelles) ;
   des forces hydrauliques, osmotiques, électrophorétiques sont présentes ;
   les températures quotidiennes moyennes du composant dépassent 50 °C.

The following examples of transient, one-dimensional heat and moisture phenomena in building components can be simulated by the models covered by this standard: ƒ drying of initial construction moisture; ƒ moisture accumulation by interstitial condensation due to diffusion in winter; ƒ moisture penetration due to driving rain exposure; ƒ summer condensation due to migration of moisture from outside to inside; ƒ exterior surface condensation due to cooling by longwave radiation exchange; ƒ moisture-related heat losses by transmission and moisture evaporation. The factors relevant to hygrothermal building component simulation are summarised below. The standard starts with the description of the physical model on which hygrothermal simulation tools are based. Then the necessary input parameters and their procurement are dealt with. A benchmark case with an analytical solution is given for the assessment of numerical simulation tools. The evaluation, interpretation and documentation of the output form the last part.
