Wood waste as an alternative thermal insulation for buildings
Current insulation materials in the construction market, which are predominantly inorganic materials, have a high performance in relation to heat transfer, i.e. high R-values, but the environmental impacts in their production...
Evaluation of the thermal performance of an innovative prefabricated natural plant fibre building system
Energy efficient new and retrofit building construction relies heavily on the use of thermal insulation. A focus on the environmental performance of current construction materials with regards to both embodied energy and energy...

A review of moisture buffering capacity
It is important to control indoor humidity level in buildings as it influences occupant’s health and comfort. Hygroscopic building materials present great potential to passively regulate air humidity due to their ability to...
In situ assessment of the fabric and energy performance of five conventional and non-conventional wall systems using comparative coheating tests
Comparative coheating tests have been carried out in five test buildings with walls constructed of Concrete Block Masonry and timber framed Hemp-lime composite, Polyisocyanurate (PIR), Wood Fibre and Mineral Wool. Five different...
Hygrothermal performance of bio-based insulation materials
Bio-based insulation materials have the potential to make a significant contribution to the reduction in the global warming potential of the construction industry world-wide. They contribute in two ways. First they provide the...
Conditions affecting the moisture buffering measurement performed on compressed earth blocks
Unfired clay masonry has a high potential to regulate indoor humidity and therefore create healthier living environments. The measurement of such potential on various building materials has received increasing attention and has...
The moisture buffering performance of plasters when exposed to simultaneous sinusoidal temperature and RH variations
Wall constructions have the capacity to contribute to the passive regulation of indoor Relative Humidity. This property, referred to as moisture buffering, is linked to the hygroscopicity of materials, which allows materials to...

Comparison of moisture buffering properties of plasters in full scale simulations and laboratory testing
The regulation of indoor relative humidity is a key factor for the provision of occupant health and comfort. Passive humidity regulation is possible if porous materials, for example clay and gypsum plasters, are exposed to the...
Measurements of the performance of a wind-driven ventilation terminal
This paper presents the results of the measured ventilation flow rates through a roof-mounted inflow/outflow natural ventilator and of the wind pressures measured on the terminal under real conditions. The experiments were...
