Towards an Engineering Model of Material Characteristics for Input to Ham Transport Simulations - Part 1: An Approach

Heat, Air and Moisture (HAM) modelling of building performance is a quite young research subject but the experimental determination of material properties is often based on classical methods. One should review the manner in which we define characteristic material parameters and there is a need to develop an approximation used to generate the required material functions for input to HAM-transport simulations. The paper presents such an approach, …
