Ristret

The durability of a building could be improved by a proper moisture design, using an advanced coupled heat and moisture simulation. The weather files used as boundary conditions are not usually suited for moisture-related analysis and the standard weather reference year generation procedures are not intended to represent moisture-related weather variables. In this study, a procedure was proposed to design appropriate reference years (Moisture Reference Years, MRY), using a modification of the method described in the standard EN ISO 15927-4:2005 as a starting point.
