Significance and Use4.1 This guide is intended to provide the framework forcharacterizing the functions of the hygrothermal model and thelevel of

42、 sophistication used as inputs for each analysis.Hygrothermal modeling has become an important practice insupport of the decision-making design processes involved inmoisture management of building envelope systems.Increasingly, hygrothermal models are an integral part ofbuilding envelope performance

43、 assessment, retrofit, and resto-ration studies and provide insight in the screening of alternativedesign approaches affecting water management of the envelopesystem. Hygrothermal models are used in decision makingduring the design process of building envelope systems. Theymay also be used to assess

44、 performance of the envelopes ofexisting buildings, or to predict envelope performance inbuildings undergoing retrofit, change in use, restoration orflood remediation. It is, therefore, important to have a meth-odology to document the model used in a hygrothermalinvestigation. This documentation pro

45、vides needed character-ization of the hygrothermal model to assess its credibility andsuitability. This becomes even more important because of theincreasing complexity of the building envelope systems forwhich new hygrothermal models are being developed. Thereare many different hygrothermal models a

46、vailable, each withspecific capabilities, operational characteristics, and limita-tions. If modeling is considered for a project, it is important todetermine if a hygrothermal model is appropriate for thatproject, or if a model exists that can perform the simulationsrequired in the project.4.2 Quali

47、ty assurance in a hygrothermal analysis usingmodeling is achieved by using the most appropriate model withall important transport mechanisms, initial conditions, andboundary conditions. A well-executed quality assurance pro-gram in hygrothermal modeling requires systematic and com-plete documentatio

48、n of the model and the inputs followed byconsistent reporting of the results. This guide sets forth aformat for reporting hygrothermal modeling results.5. Hygrothermal Model Analysis Inputs5.1 There are many hygrothermal models available tosimulate, describe, or analyze different building envelopesy

49、stems and the moisture migration characteristics that affecttheir performance. Therefore, it is important to understand theperformance characteristics for which the model is intended torepresent and recognize the evaluation of the model is onlyrelevant for the performance characteristics it addresses. If theappropriate analytical and input techniques are applied to themodel, then the results obtained should provide a valid solutionto address the system deficiencies. Fig. 1 displays the va
