HYGROTHERMAL PERFORMANCE CLASSIFICATION METHODOLOGY FOR WOOD-FRAME WALL ASSEMBLIES

Ted Kesik, David De Rose, Svetlana Melnichuk

Abstract: Multi-attribute assessments of wall performance consider physical, economic and aesthetic parameters, including difficult to predict factors such as relative ease of construction. This paper builds on research conducted into multi-attribute wall system performance assessment and focuses particularly on the hygrothermal performance modelling of opaque wood-frame wall assemblies commonly employed in Canadian low-rise housing construction.
