Abstract

Heritage buildings often require renovation to obtain better energy performance. Because their exterior walls are preserved, these buildings need to be insulated from the inside. However, interior retrofits drastically change the hygrothermal behaviour of a wall, which is why installing interior insulation is by no means risk-free. By performing Heat-, Air- and Moisture (HAM) simulations on the wall assembly, the moisture-related risks can be analysed. Although HAM tools such as Delphin and WUFI are commercially available, they are rarely used in practice to perform hygrothermal assessment on facades. How can we ensure that the insights and knowledge gained from using these tools are translated to and applied in the building industry?
