Abstract

This paper deals with the hygrothermal performance of timber-frame external cladding in a passive house. The wall and roof assemblies were simulated and analyzed with regard to hygrothermal performance. Different boundary conditions and methods were used for the simulation calculations. The results of the simulations were compared with in-situ measurements, which were carried out at an experimental passive house at East Czech Republic. Due to the results of simulations and measurements, it should be possible to evaluate accuracy of simulation methods for prediction of the hygrothermal performance of the lightweight external cladding.
