Hygrothermal behaviour of straw bale walls: experimental tests and numerical analyses

Straw is an organic material with hygroscopical properties. The high capacity it has of storing moisture from the surroundings can furthermore influence the performance and lead to the possible degradation of the material thereof. The aim of this study was to assess the conductance C-value of a comp...
