Abstract
The vertical edge insulation on foundation walls, the popular method for structures located in colder regions, is expected to spread across moderate and humid climate regions because of its insulation superiority in the hygrothermal environments found in crawl spaces. However, in the first year after completion of buildings, the hygrothermal condition in crawl spaces with insulation foundation wall tends to worsen, leading to condensation and heating load growth. We clarify the factors affecting the hygrothermal behavior in crawl spaces with insulation foundation wall and explore some possible improvements in these hygrothermal environments through simulating simultaneous heat and moisture transfer.
