Re: [TRNSYS-users] Humidity transfer through walls

Damien,
 You are correct that moisture transfer through walls is not accounted for. If you implement TRNFlow in your Type56 model (or if you couple Type56 with CONTAM/Type97) then you will see some of the effect of moisture transport as air infiltrates into the space through openings and by air leakage through the building materials. I have not seen any studies that address the issue of the relative magnitude of moisture transport through materials as compared to being a biproduct of infiltration.
Regards,

Hi,

It seems that humidity transfer through walls (Fick's law) are not tacken into account in the Type 56 ?

If so, what is the justification of that, can it be neglected compared to air transfers ?

Is there any simple way to include these transfers in my model ?

Thanks in advance,

Damien
