The construction industry (and buildings) is one of the largest energy consuming and CO 2
emitting sectors in the world. To counter this, more lightweight structures are being used and …

Reduction of the CO 2 emissions in the atmosphere is one of the goals set forth by the
European Union, hence various directives have been adopted, such as the European …

Building envelopes under various climates behave differently, in this paper the actual
thermal transmittance or U-value of five different wall assemblies are evaluated and …

This paper presents the results of numerical modelling of hygrothermal processes in test
buildings situated in the Botanical garden of the University of Latvia. Long-term performance …

Numerical models of heat and moisture transfer for performance forecast of lightweight
insulating assemblies require many inputs. These include exterior climate data (ie …

Avoiding thermal bridges in the building envelope is one of the key elements for the
reduction of energy consumption in buildings. Numerical calculations of heat flux through …
