Journal ArticleDOI
Interlaboratory comparison of hygric properties of porous building materials
Staf Roels,Jan Carmeliet,Hugo Hens,Olaf C. G. Adan,Harold Brocken,Robert Cerny,Zbyšek Pavlík,Christopher Hall,Kumar Kumaran,Leo L Pel,Rudolf Plagge +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the precision of methods used for the determination of hygric properties of porous building materials was investigated in the framework of the EU-initiated HAMSTAD project.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment method of numerical prediction models for combined heat, air and moisture transfer in building components: benchmarks for one-dimensional cases
Carl-Eric Hagentoft,Angela Sasic Kalagasidis,Bijan Adl-Zarrabi,Staf Roels,Jan Carmeliet,Hugo Hens,John Grunewald,Max Funk,Rachel Becker,Dina Shamir,Olaf C. G. Adan,Harold Brocken,Kumar Kumaran,Reda Djebbar +13 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present five numerical benchmark cases for the quality assessment of simulation models for one-dimensional heat, air and moisture (HAM) transfer, which is an outcome of the EU-initiated project for standardisation of HAM calculation methods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Review of mould prediction models and their influence on mould risk evaluation
Evy Vereecken,Staf Roels +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an overview of the different existing models and the impact of the mold prediction model on the mould risk evaluation is presented. But the authors do not consider the exposure time of the mould growth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of moisture flow in porous materials using microfocus X-ray radiography
Staf Roels,Jan Carmeliet +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a calibration procedure is presented to optimise the resolution in moisture content by choosing an adequate sample thickness in relation to the energy of the X-ray source, and examples of two-dimensional liquid water uptake in homogeneous, heterogeneous, micro- and macro-fractured materials are presented.
