HAMSTAD Benchmark 1: Heat and Moisture Transport in an Insulated Roof

Application ID: 75601


This tutorial demonstrates how to simulate coupled heat and moisture transport in an insulated roof structure composed of a load-bearing layer and an insulation layer. The thermal insulation faces the interior, while a moisture barrier is placed on the exterior side. The load-bearing layer is capillary-active, whereas the insulation layer is capillary-inactive. This difference leads to elevated relative humidity levels at the interface between the two materials, resulting in internal condensation.

The 1D model corresponds to the first benchmark defined in HAMSTAD-WP2 Modeling for validating numerical simulations of coupled heat and moisture transport in building materials.

A more detailed description of the physical phenomena and modeling approach is provided in the blog post Verifying a HAMSTAD Benchmark for an Insulated Roof Model.
