In a composite wall, each constituent component plays a specific role in effective moisture management. The moisture movement to and from the wall assembly, subjected to climatic forces, such as relative humidity (RH), temperature, rainfall and solar radiation, is influenced by the basic hygrothermal properties of the component materials. Studies conducted at the National Research Council (NRC) Canada, over the years, show that the hygrothermal properties of materials vary over a wide range. Quite naturally, such variation may influence the overall moisture response of the wall. This paper investigates the extent to which each component of the wall can influence the overall drying and wetting characteristics of an ideal (i.e., without any d...
