Abstract: The fan pressurization method for measuring air leakage through the building envelope relies on the assumption that the extraneous air leakage (EAL) through paths other than those through the specimen being tested is ...

Abstract: The thermal performance of structural insulated panels (SIP) and connections, developed and used to build 142 homes in Nunavut, Canada, was studied by subjecting the panels to steady-state cold climate conditions in a ...

Abstract: This paper describes the design and development of an environmental chamber for investigation of building envelope performance as a function of heat, air, and moisture transfer, and the interaction between the building ...

Abstract: Rainwater penetration is the source of moisture that causes the greatest damage to building envelope assemblies. The building envelope should be designed to reduce the amount of rainwater penetration by deflection and ...
