The main objective of this paper is to highlight the research works being carried out on the hygrothermal behaviour of building materials and wall systems at the National Research Council (NRC) Canada. The paper depicts selected results obtained from parametric studies conducted on wood frame stucco walls commonly used in Canadian climatic conditions, using hygIRC, an advanced hygrothermal modelling tool developed over the years at the Institute for Research in Construction (IRC), NRC Canada. Theassumed wall configurations, environmental conditions and material properties used in the study and the rationale behind such assumptions are highlighted. The drying potential of the composite wall systems and drying characteristics of various indiv...
