Hygrothermal Simulation on Exterior Wall of Bamboo and Wood Structure
In order to reveal hygrothermal performance of exterior walls with different materials and structures,7 walls of bamboo and wood structure have been designed and simulations have been performed respectively under climatic condition of typical meteorological year of Shanghai and Beijing by WUFI Plus.Wall 1 to wall 7 were compared in regarding to living comfort,condensation,mold growth and energy consumption.The simulation results show that W4 performs well with regard to living comfort.Condensation phenomenon just should be paid attention to in shorter period in the two kinds of climate conditions.Low risk by mold would exist in the condition of Shanghai and no threat for Beijing.The feasibility of application of bamboo based material in walls has been verified.It also provides a new idea for the design of walls.
