Question
1) A wall section composed from the outside to inside, of concrete brick 100mm thick, an air space of
50mm, two layers of fiberglass insulation 38mm thick, concrete block 150mm thick and air space of
19mm and a gypsum board of 13mm. The exterior conditions are -20C and RH=90% while the interior
conditions are 23C and RH=40%. The surface temperature from the outside to inside are shown in the
figure. The permeances are:
Still Air: µ = 175 ng/pa.s.m
Fiber glass: M=2560 ng/pa.s.m?
Concrete block: M= 200 ng/pa.s.m?
Gypsum board: M= 2000 ng/pa.s.m?
Concrete brick: µ = 4.55 ng/pa.s.m
Determine if there is a risk of condensation, and if there is, what is the condensation rate?
What would happen if a vapor barrier (M=0.2 ng/pa.s.m²) was installed on the warm side of the
insulation (Surface 4).
