38 Application Case IECC Vapor Retarder Recommendation Effort by DOE Building Science Corporation ORNL 38

39 Vapor Retarder Movement In the USA Millions of Homes are in Trouble

40 The Confusion Vapor Guidelines & Codes Vapor Retarders are needed Vapor Retarders are not needed Vapor Retarder are important Vapor Retarder are not important Too many opinions, not enough science 40

41 MOISTURE ENGINEERING 1) Load Based Analysis (Interior & Exterior) 2) Building Envelope System and Subsystems are needed 3) Includes all appropriate physics that describe the transport process 4) Incorporates a saftey factor 41

42 Saftey Factor in Moisture Analysis?? (WOW!!) Factor of safety (FoS), also known as Safety Factor, is a multiplier applied to the calculated maximum load (vapor, rain,water penetration or a combination) to which a component or assembly will be subjected. Thus, by effectively "overengineering" the design by strengthening components or including redundant systems, a Factor of Safety accounts for imperfections in materials, flaws in assembly, material degradation, and uncertainty in load estimates. An alternative way to use the safety factor is to derate the performance (strength) of the material/system to get a "design" strength. Sdesign = Syield / FoS Sdesign = Sproof / FoS 42

43 Margin of Saftey in Moisture Analysis?? (WOW!!) An appropriate factor of safety is chosen based on several considerations. Prime considerations are the accuracy of load and ageing estimates, the consequences of failure, and the cost of overengineering the component to achieve that factor of safety. For example, components whose failure could result in substantial financial loss, serious injury (health consequences or death usually use a safety factor of four or higher (often ten). Non-critical components generally have a safety factor of two. An interesting exception is in the field of Aerospace engineering, where safety factors are kept low (about ) because the costs associated with structural weight are so high. This low safety factor is why aerospace parts and materials are subject to more stringent testing and quality control. Factor of safety of 1 implies no safety at all. Hence some engineers prefer to use a related term, Margin of Safety (MoS) to describe the design parameters. The relation between MoS and FoS is MoS= FoS-1. 43

44 How did we use a Safety Factor Exterior Load Choose Weather Years in a specific Manner Interior Load Investigated three different interior loads Wall & Location Specific Water Penetration in Wall (Dump Water into wall) 44

85 Conclusion- 1 Year Results Ventilation increases drying potential by a factor of 3 (drying rate using stucco loading in Seattle) Venting increases drying performance by 33 % Foam insulation keeps wall warm and increases drying performance Seattle requires an interior vapor retarder (at least kraft coating unless cladding ventilated), Membrain outperforms poly and no vapor retarder Old constructions also prone to moisture problems if use similar stucco No Vapor Retarder (60-perms or 10 as thought of when built) 85

86 Conclusion- 1 Year Results Membrain outperforms poly and no vapor retarder No Vapor Retarder (60-perms or 10 as thought of when built) Field and model must be used together to develop code changes Do not use ONLY models but field and models to produce code changes that are needed 86

94 Future Modeling It was always considered: indoor humidity is of small importance for a successful design because temperature is easier to sense, quantify and comprehend. Indoor relative humidity (RH) is important and has significantly impact. New model for : Transient behavior for the whole building, its indoor climate AND the envelope With the model it is possible to make more and more accurate predictions of the indoor humidity variations 94

95 Conclusions Models are as experienced as the operator who uses them (Training is necessary) There are many limitations to models There are even more limitations for testing Field and Modeling should be used for CODES In the near future WUFI-PLUS will assist in Whole Building Design Work is proceeding with a 3-D CFD WUFI model with CAD interfaces 95
