The Results of Experimental Chamber Temperature Measurements for a Light-Weight Wooden Envelope

Abstract:

Considering the ambitions of passive buildings to achieve net zero values with regard to environmental impacts, it is likely that the trend in the construction of wooden houses will increase. A climate chamber was built with a representative light-weight wooden envelope in Košice to answer the question of how wooden cladding would behave in real-world conditions. The paper describes the progress of temperatures in the light-weight wooden structure situated in the peripheral wall of the experimental chamber. The data obtained will serve as a basis for verification of simulation models and their optimization in the design of the envelope. The aim is to verify the accuracy of measurement data and the expected behaviour of the wooden construction envelope in terms of internal and surface temperatures of the construction.
