Določanje fizikalnih parametrov z računalniškimi orodji v lesenih hišah

Abstract

Nowadays, because the number of wooden houses gradually increases and due to European regulations, a huge emphasis is put onto the aspects like energy saving and energy efficiency in family housing, which are the topic of a related ongoing research project. Hence, the paper is focused on comparing and streamlining the methods available to the engineering community in the fields of energy consumption and air-tightness measurements of buildings. The newly developed design methodologies and practical outputs of the completed research project are planned to be delivered directly to the related industry. The research project is also focused on the humidity and temperature control in wooden houses since wooden houses consist of timber structural elements, whose humidity and moisture may later cause some liability-related problems. To prevent these failures, it is necessary to investigate the quality of tools and methodologies, through which one might determine the values of humidity and temperature already within the design phase. Nevertheless, design is only one phase of the whole process; the other is the building-realisation phase. Therefore, the questions to answer are: Who is actually responsible for the failures caused by humidity and moisture? When does the water actually penetrate the structural elements? Is it in the factory or when the elements are transported or when the products are stored at the construction site?
