Measurement of Lightweight Experimental Wall and Comparison with Different Simulation Programs

Abstract:

This article deals with the long-term testing of experimental lightweight wall and comparison of the measurement with two different simulation software packages – WUFI and ESP-r in term of temperatures inside the fragments. Two lightweight timber-frame wall fragments with various outdoor coating colors were exposed to the real outdoor boundary climate conditions for four years. The indoor boundary conditions were secured as constant. In the wall fragments there are several built-in sensors.
