Abstract:With approximately 40% of the London building stock built before 1919, internal wall insulation (IWI) is one of the likely measures for deep retrofit to meet carbon emissions targets. However, IWI can lead to moisture accumulation and associated unintended consequences, especially in walls highly exposed to wind-driven rain (WDR). Climate change is predicted to exacerbate WDR exposure. This paper presents a comparative analysis between the hygrothermal performance of IWI under current and far future (2080) cli… Show more
