After completing this course, you will be able to:– Describe the some of the primary functions of the building envelope.
– Describe the following as they relate to the principles of building envelope design:
• Science of Climates, Water Forms, Moisture Movement, Air Flow, Heat Flow, and moisture storage by material & system
– Describe the principle considerations pertaining to the design and construction of wall assemblies that address moisture flow and control
Describe the mechanisms by which materials wet and dry.
– Finally we will focus on the advantages and disadvantages of various kinds of residential wall claddings in the context of moisture control and durability
Learning Objectives
Functions of the Building Envelope
The boundary between interior and exterior
Must be:
• Structural (In most residential constructions)
• Must protect the interior from exterior elements- heat, cold, moisture, wind, and solar radiation
• Must be durable
• Must be efficient
• Must be sustainable
Functions of the Building Envelope
The Science of Moisture and the Building Envelope
The Science of Climates• The US has 8 climate zones
– 1 being the warmest and 8 being the coldest
• The US has 3 climate types– A = Moist
– B = Dry
– C = Marine
• Typical weather years influenced by
– Location of the Jet Stream
– Ocean Water Temperatures
The Science of Moisture and the Building Envelope
The Science of Climate: Wetting
• Location– Total Rain Fall
– Wind Driven Rain
– Surrounding topography
The Science of Moisture and the Building Envelope
The Science of Climate: Wetting
• Location– Total Rain Fall
– Wind Driven Rain
– Surrounding topography
• Geometry– Includes Height
– And Shape
The Science of Moisture and the Building Envelope
Science of Climate: Drying• Drying according to
outdoor vapor pressures- vapor drive and environmental capacity
The Science of Moisture and the Building Envelope
Science of Climate: Drying
• The influence of sunlight– On surface temperatures
– On air’s capacity to hold H2O
– On convective air flows
The Science of Moisture and the Building Envelope
The Forms of Water
The Science of Moisture and the Building Envelope
The Forms of Water
Dew Point: In simple terms, it is the temperature at which a given mass of water in the air will form condensation or “dew”. It’s like being at 100%RH and then dropping the temperature 1 degree
The Science of Moisture and the Building Envelope
Specific Physical Mechanisms of Moisture Flow
• Water Flow – Gravity moves rainwater down
the building’s exterior surfaces• Water will enter downward-
sloped openings• Storm water runoff can flow
against buildings and seep in to basements
– Minimize water flow against the building
– Foundation drainage systems– Use shingles and flashings to
keep rainwater out of joints• Overlap the components • No reversed laps• Drainage holes• Protect vertical joints
Specific Physical Mechanisms of Moisture Flow
• Capillary Suction– Caused by surface tension
of water• Causes water to be drawn
in through tiny pores in building materials
– To prevent capillary flow, create breaks in the components
– Even very narrow spaces work
• Should drain and vent to the exterior so drying can occur
• Moisture tolerant materials like concrete and masonry help prevent capillary flow
Specific Physical Mechanisms of Moisture Flow
• Airborne Moisture Flow– Air flow carries moisture
into buildings– Construction practices
can prevent openings– The volume of moisture
entering a building by air flow can be 100 times greater than by diffusion
• Diffusion through a 4 x 8 sheet of painted gypsum board is about 1/3 quart of water over a heating season in a cold climate
• Air flow through a 1-inch hole can add up to 30 quarts!
Specific Physical Mechanisms of Moisture Flow
• Water Vapor Diffusion
Air Flow Basics
• Air as an agent for wetting and drying
Heat Flow
The Science of Moisture and the Building Envelope
The Science of Moisture and the Building Envelope
• How stuff dries– 4 main parameters of evaporation rate
• Surface area• Surface temperature• Partial pressure of water in the air (%RH)• Air movement
