EFFICIENT HYGROTHERMAL WALL TRANSPORT MODELS INSIDE SIMULATIONS OF CONDITIONED BUILDINGS

With regard to room comfort and potential moisture damage hygrothermal conditions inside a building are of high interest, especially in highly humid or dry climatic regions.In order to achieve satisfying climatic conditions not only thermal storage, but also moisture storage of walls needs to be taken into consideration.Dynamic effects of walls and

Precipitation in Iceland during a period of 10 years is simulated with the PSU/NCAR MM5 model.The results are compared with precipitation estimated by a statistical model based on observations and a number gemplers coupon of topographic and geographic predictors.The simulated precipitation pattern agrees with the statistical model in areas where da
