Hygrothermal Performance of Building Components and Building Elements - Assessment of Moisture Transfer by Numerical Simulation
Also Known As:
DIN EN 15026 is a standard that focuses on the hygrothermal performance of building components and building elements. It specifically deals with the assessment of moisture transfer through numerical simulation. The standard outlines the use of software to predict the one-dimensional transient heat, air, and moisture transfer in multi-layer building envelope components. These components are subjected to varying climate conditions on both sides.
The standard provides guidance on simulating various transient heat and moisture phenomena in building components. These include drying of initial construction moisture, accumulation of moisture due to interstitial condensation in winter, penetration of moisture from driving rain exposure, condensation in summer due to moisture migration from the outside to the inside, exterior surface condensation due to cooling through long wave radiation exchange, and moisture-related heat losses through transmission and evaporation.
