Simulating the prediction of moisture movement and related risk within building envelopes has gained momentum with the increased use of thicker walls, new
materials and assemblies. One such simulation software used widely across North America for hygrothermal analysis is WUFI 5.1. As with any other simulator,
WUFI 5.1 requires a few basic inputs such as location, orientation, climate and construction. But hygrothermal modeling is not a clear-cut task. The interactions
between the macro level inputs and the dependency on molecular make-up and characteristics of materials makes prediction of hygrothermal performance very
volatile. This volatility could lead to under or over predicting moisture related risk in building elements.
As a part of an ongoing research and monitoring project, the authors’ team evaluated and intends to monitor several different configurations of wall
assemblies in multiple climate and moisture zones to determine the accuracy of moisture modeling. The goal is to make recommendations to ensure durable, efficient
assemblies. Based on this research, this paper presents a systematic approach to hygrothermal modeling with WUFI 5.1. Methods to determine compliance with
existing failure criteria using results from WUFI 5.1 are discussed. General software observations and possible future improvements are suggested

This document discusses Anti-Hydro, a non-corrosive admixture that has been used since 1904 to integrally waterproof concrete and increase its workability, strength, hardness, and durability. Anti-Hydro reacts with portland cement to produce more complete hydration, reducing water requirements and shrinkage while increasing early and ultimate strength. This results in impermeable, dense, durable concrete that is hard and non-dusting. The document further explains that Anti-Hydro works by raising the hydration of cement mixes to 95%, yielding denser, harder materials that are impermeable to water and act as a vapor barrier. Anti-Hydro also accelerates hardening and allows faster installation, especially important for

The inclusion of supplementary cementitious materials like fly ash, slag, and silica fume can improve sulfate resistance, reduce permeability, and limit alkali-silica reaction.
The document discusses internal wall insulation (IWI) options for older buildings in England. It summarizes a KTP project that tested 8 different IWI systems, including 4 breathable and 4 conventional systems.

The project aims to find a safe, effective solution for mainstream IWI application in typical 9-13" brick buildings, focusing on hygrothermal performance and moisture transport. More evidence is still needed regarding long-term performance and faults to ensure solutions are both safe and practical.
Glue works through polymers. Polymers are long molecular chains that harden when the glue dries. One common polymer used in glue is derived from milk and called casein. It forms chains as it dries, bonding materials together. Krazy Glue uses a fast-acting polymer called cyanoacrylate that bonds surfaces quickly. Glue only hardens when exposed to air as it needs water to remain liquid inside its sealed bottle.

Adhesives are materials used to bond two surfaces together, developing strength after application. Sealants are viscous materials that change to a solid state once applied to prevent air, gas, liquid, or noise penetration through openings. While adhesives bond items strongly, sealants have lower strength but provide flexibility and fill gaps, making them suitable for sealing joints. The main difference is that sealants are more elastic than adhesives.
Peel And Stick Roofing Membranes, Cologne Waterproofing Conference W. Commentswhoermann
This document discusses the development of "peel and stick" roofing membranes as an alternative to traditional roofing installation methods. It outlines the benefits of peel and stick membranes, such as not requiring adhesives to dry on site, eliminating odor and fire hazards, and providing potential labor and time savings of up to 80%. The document also discusses adhesive requirements for peel and stick membranes and highlights hot melt adhesive technology as an environmentally friendly and economically viable option.

Hot melt adhesives are thermoplastic polymers that become liquid when heated above 80-220°C and solidify when cooled. They are applied in liquid state without solvents or water, allowing for precise application. Common polymers used include styrene copolymers, polyamides, and polyacrylates. Hot melts have advantages like being solvent-free, producing less waste, and allowing for adjustment of viscosity through temperature variation.
The document discusses different types of conformal coatings, their properties and applications. It defines conformal coating as a thin protective plastic film that conforms to an electronic circuit board. The main types covered are acrylics, polyurethanes, epoxies, silicones and fluorocarbons. Acrylics are most common due to their low cost and ease of application, while silicones are suitable for high temperature uses. Key factors in selecting a coating include chemical resistance, temperature tolerance, and ease of application and repair.
Pudlo is a concrete admixture that modifies the microstructure of concrete to improve its durability. It reduces permeability, absorption, and diffusion by densifying the cement paste and reducing porosity and pore size. This makes concrete virtually water-tight and prevents ingress of chloride ions, carbon dioxide, water and other chemicals that can cause corrosion of steel reinforcement or chemical attacks on concrete. Pudlo also autogenously heals microcracks to further improve concrete's resistance to permeation and durability against various degradation mechanisms like corrosion, sulfate attack, and acid attack. Case studies and third party testing show that Pudlo modified concrete outperforms standard concrete in real world exposure conditions and infrastructure projects.

Standard 62.1: A VAV Dynamic Reset ApproachTraneOregon
Standard 62.1: A VAV Dynamic Reset Approach
ASHRAE Standard 62.1 “Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality,” provides minimum design requirements for proper ventilation in commercial, institutional and hi-rise residential buildings. It allows optional “dynamic reset” controls to help match current system ventilation capacity to current load, but leaves design details for such controls to the designer. ASHRAE Standard 90.1 and ASHRAE Standard 189.1, on the other hand, both require demand controlled ventilation (DCV) for some zones, but they too, leave out design details. While relatively simple for single-zone systems, DCV can be much more complex for multiple-zone systems.

Accelerated life tests (ALTs) are employed to generate failure time data at higher-than-normal-use stress levels. ALT planning is critical for achieving statistical efficiency and reducing experimental cost through design of experiments (DOE). In this talk, I will describe a real world example of ALT planning and its impact on decision making. I will present models for regression with failure time data, including exponential and Weibull regression. Censoring, which is present in many life testing experiments, and its effect on regression models is discussed. Graphical methods for data analysis of life testing experiments are discussed, as well as the software for ALT planning and data analysis.
