Calibration Of An Historic Masonry Building Using Measured Temperature And Heat Flux Data

Identifying key parameters through a sensitivity analysis for realistic hygrothermal simulations at wall level supported by monitored data

“…Therefore, it can be stated that these parameters should be carefully set during the creation of a numerical model. The density and specific heat capacity of the materials described by the 𝐶 𝑣𝑜𝑙 parameter is found to be non-influential (again confirmed in [17,24]).…”

“…Numerous studies have investigated how accurate simulation software can be [13][14][15]. Several studies have tried to calibrate hygrothermal simulations [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. Calibrating a model that describes only heat transport is already challenging [24,25], whereas, when it comes to the hygrometric part, there is a greater number of parameters that need to be considered [26].…”
