Download or read book How to Ensure Good Thermal Performance of Cellulose Fibre Insulation written by M. Bomberg and published by Division of Building Research, National Research Council of Canada [i.e. National Research Council Canada]. This book was released on 1980 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The customer for cellulose fibre insulation (CFI) has only two basic requirements: that the insulation provide the desired thermal resistance for the service life of the building; and that its use does not increase the hazard to health or contribute to the deterioration of other building components. An analysis of the requirements for CFI used as attic insulation is given in Table I. The thermal resistance provided by CFI is basically a function of its thickness and density. However, the thermal conductivity is almost independent of the density, in the density range at which the material is normally applied, i.e., 30 to 55 kg/m3 . There is a certain, relatively small range of variability, depending on paper grinding, the paper stock used, and the chemicals added, etc., but the thermal conductivity of all CFI material is practically the same. Research on CFI has led to the development of a number of test methods to determine the density and density changes during service life, and hence the resistance that will be provided by a given mass of material. In these tests, an accurate estimate of settlement is required because, in the field, CFI blown at a relatively low density will generally settle under the influence of such factors as temperature and humidity variations, and building vibrations. The test for density determination in Specification 51-GP-60M,8 of the Canadian Government Specifications Board (CGSB) is performed by blowing the material at machine settings selected to produce a minimum density. The "design density" is then calculated by Method A - from the blown density and the settlement determined by a drop test plus a temperature-humidity cycling test; or by Method B - from the blown density multiplied by a factor of 1.27, which is determined by averaging the settlement observed for tests on several materials. The manufacturer is required to label the bags or containers with the weight of the material and the area coverage for various resistances. The design density must therefore be predicted quite accurately if the "resistance coverage" values listed are to be realistic because the resistance provided depends mainly on the final thickness achieved. This implies two testing requirements: a test for quality assurance to ensure that the customer gets the resistance expected; and a quality control test that the manufacturer can use to ensure that he is producing a uniform material according to the specification. This Note will examine the precision of the various methods that determine design density in terms of their repeatability and reproducibility, and will discuss the effect of material variability.

Book excerpt: Pretty Good House provides a framework and set of guidelines for building or renovating a high-performance home that focus on its inhabitants and the environment--but keeps in mind that few people have pockets deep enough to achieve a "perfect" solution. The essential idea is for homeowners to work within their financial and practical constraints both to meet their own needs and do as much for the planet as possible. A Pretty Good House is: * A house that's as small as possible * Simple and durable, but also well designed * Insulated and air-sealed * Above all, it is affordable, healthy, responsible, and resilient.
Download or read book Digital Wood Design written by Fabio Bianconi and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-02-24 with total page 1525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores various digital representation strategies that could change the future of wooden architectures by blending tradition and innovation. Composed of 61 chapters, written by 153 authors hailing from 5 continents, 24 countries and 69 research centers, it addresses advanced digital modeling, with a particular focus on solutions involving generative models and dynamic value, inherent to the relation between knowing how to draw and how to build. Thanks to the potential of computing, areas like parametric design and digital manufacturing are opening exciting new avenues for the future of construction. The book’s chapters are divided into five sections that connect digital wood design to integrated approaches and generative design; to model synthesis and morphological comprehension; to lessons learned from nature and material explorations; to constructive wisdom and implementation-related challenges; and to parametric transfigurations and morphological optimizations.

Download or read book PCM Enhanced Building Components written by Jan Kośny and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-05-07 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presenting an overview of the use of Phase Change Materials (PCMs) within buildings, this book discusses the performance of PCM-enhanced building envelopes. It reviews the most common PCMs suitable for building applications, and discusses PCM encapsulation and packaging methods. In addition to this, it examines a range of PCM-enhanced building products in the process of development as well as examples of whole-building-scale field demonstrations. Further chapters discuss experimental and theoretical analyses (including available software) to determine dynamic thermal and energy performance characteristics of building enclosure components containing PCMs, and present different laboratory and field testing methods. Finally, a wide range of PCM building products are presented which are commercially available worldwide. This book is intended for students and researchers of mechanical, architectural and civil engineering and postgraduate students of energy analysis, dynamic design of building structures, and dynamic testing procedures. It also provides a useful resource for professionals involved in architectural and mechanical-civil engineering design, thermal testing and PCM manufacturing.
