Long-term performance of thermal insulating composite systems based on water re...
Borsoi, Giovanni; Parracha, João L.; Bersch, Jéssica D.; Garcia, Ana; Dionísio, Amélia; Faria, Paulina; Veiga, Rosário; Flores-Colen, InêsExternal Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICSs) are increasingly applied in both new construction and energy retrofitting, where long-term durability under environmental exposure is critical to preserving thermal efficiency. Moisture ingress represents a key degradation factor, reducing insulation performance and undermining energy savings promoted by the ETICS. The effectiveness of these systems is stro...
Converting Non-homogeneous Masonry Walls into 1D Hygrothermal Models
Bersch, Jéssica D.; Kraniotis, Dimitrios; Coelho, Guilherme B.A.; Masuero, Angela B.; Molin, Denise Dal; Flores-Colen, InêsThis study addresses the complexities in refurbishing the extensive 20th-century building stock, driven by the European Renovation Wave initiative. To develop more effective conservation strategies, numerical simulations assess the hygrothermal performance of exterior walls, ensuring compatibility between new and existing materials and aiding energy modeling. A key challenge is accurately representing material ...
