Comparison of Different Wind-Driven Rain Gauges

Abstract:

This article deals with the problems of wind-driven rain (WDR) measurements. Wind-driven rain is one of the biggest moisture source and can affect hygrothermal properties and durability of the building facades. The WDR gauge design is still not standardized. Two types of WDR gauges were compared during three months in the summer 2013. The gauges were placed on the array of low-rise cubic building models located in Dübendorf, Switzerland. This comparison shows different approach to its construction and deals with the measurement errors.
