8、rsily, COStephanie Reiniche, Manager of StandardsSPECIAL NOTEThis American National Standard (ANS) is a national voluntary consensus standard developed under the auspices of the AmericanSociety of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). Consensus is defined by the American Na

9、tional StandardsInstitute (ANSI), of which ASHRAE is a member and which has approved this standard as an ANS, as “substantial agreement reached bydirectly and materially affected interest categories. This signifies the concurrence of more than a simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity.Consens

10、us requires that all views and objections be considered, and that an effort be made toward their resolution.” Compliance with thisstandard is voluntary until and unless a legal jurisdiction makes compliance mandatory through legislation.ASHRAE obtains consensus through participation of its national

11、and international members, associated societies, and public review.ASHRAE Standards are prepared by a Project Committee appointed specifically for the purpose of writing the Standard. The ProjectCommittee Chair and Vice-Chair must be members of ASHRAE; while other committee members may or may not be

12、 ASHRAE members, allmust be technically qualified in the subject area of the Standard. Every effort is made to balance the concerned interests on all ProjectCommittees. The Assistant Director of Technology for Standards and Special Projects of ASHRAE should be contacted for:a. interpretation of the

13、contents of this Standard,b. participation in the next review of the Standard,c. offering constructive criticism for improving the Standard, ord. permission to reprint portions of the Standard.DISCLAIMERASHRAE uses its best efforts to promulgate Standards and Guidelines for the benefit of the public

14、 in light of available information andaccepted industry practices. However, ASHRAE does not guarantee, certify, or assure the safety or performance of any products, components,or systems tested, installed, or operated in accordance with ASHRAEs Standards or Guidelines or that any tests conducted und

16、g and installing equipment, by providing proper definitions of this equipment, and by providingother information that may serve to guide the industry.

26、 built each year that do experience moisture ormold problems. Whether this number is now increasing andwhether the increase is due to the greater emphasis onenergy-efficiency measures today is a widely debated topic.This purpose of this standard is not to answer either of thesequestions but rather t

27、o provide guidance on how to bestdesign buildings with adequate moisture control features.Given its position as a leader in the proper design of heating,ventilating, and air-conditioning equipment, ASHRAE isuniquely qualified to provide such guidance.During the last two decades, a number of computer

28、 simu-lation tools have been developed to predict thermal and mois-ture conditions in buildings and the building envelope. Inaddition to their use as forensic tools in the investigation ofbuilding failures, these computer models are increasingly usedto make recommendations for building design in var

29、ious cli-mates. However, results obtained with these models areextremely sensitive to the assumed moisture boundary condi-tions. For instance, during winter in cold climates, the mois-ture conditions in walls depend greatly on the indoor humidityconditions. Thus, a consistent approach to moisture de

30、signdemands a consistent framework for design assumptions, orassumed “loads.” The question whether design features suchas vapor retarders or ventilation systems are necessary cannotbe answered objectively unless there is a consensus definitionof the interior and exterior moisture boundary conditions

31、 thatthe building is expected to be able to sustain without negativeconsequences to itself or its inhabitants. This standard formu-lates design assumptions for moisture design analysis and cri-teria for acceptable performance. Ideally, a design analysis involves the determination ofthe probability o

32、f failure and treats all design parametersand loads as stochastic variables. However, sufficient dataare often not available to make a full statistical treatmentpractical. Instead, where only limited data exist, a moisturedesign protocol must be based on a combination of statisti-cal data and profes

33、sional judgment. Another judgmentinvolves the choice of an acceptable probability of the occur-rence of damage. Although it is common to impose verystringent criteria for structural design because of safety con-cerns, moisture damage usually occurs over a long period oftime and usually has less cata

34、strophic, although sometimescostly, consequences. An international consensus hasemerged that the analysis should be predicated on loads thatwill not be exceeded 90% of the time. This standard adoptsthis approach.In a moisture analysis for building envelope design, thechoice of indoor environmental c

35、onditions is extremely impor-tant, especially for buildings in cold climates. This standardopts for a design indoor climate definition that is based onengineering principles, is independent of construction, andreflects the influence of ventilation and air-conditioningequipment and controls that may

36、or may not be part of thebuilding design. In buildings where indoor humidity and tem-perature are explicitly controlled, the building envelope per-formance should be evaluated with the intended indoor designconditions. In residential buildings, indoor humidity is rarelyexplicitly controlled, so defa

37、ult design assumptions are neededfor these buildings. In general, the standard encouragesdesigners to use their own design parameter values if they areknown and part of the design. If they are unknown or notincluded in the design, the standard provides default valuesfor those loads and parameters.Th

38、e standard does not address design details that dealwith rainwater intrusion, plumbing leaks, ground water, andwater damage caused by natural disasters such as floods andhurricanes. While proper design for these issues is extremelyimportant, and damage from such events involves a large per-centage o

39、f moisture damage in buildings, they can be moreeffectively addressed by codes, training of the trades, and spe-cific design guidelines (see Annex B, “Commentary on Stan-dard 160”). This standard assumes that appropriate measureswere taken to limit bulk water entry into the building andbuilding enve

40、lope. It does not intend to replace the judgmentof the design professional. Rather, it provides a framework forthe design professional to identify and consider factors thatare important to the durability and serviceability of the build-ing. In addition, many items in this standard are based onincomp

41、lete information and are, therefore, partially based onthe best professional judgment of the standard committee atthe time of writing. The development of this standard haspointed to many unanswered questions, questions that hope-fully will be addressed and answered by research in the nearfuture.1. P
