Hygrothermal simulation programs are widely used nowadays, but reliable results can only be achieved with the knowledge of input parameter values. This study shows how the difficulties, obtaining accurate material properties and specifying boundary conditions, affect the hygrothermal performance of the construction. A wood-based construction is investigated under climate conditions of South Korea. Sensitive material parameters and boundary conditions, which significantly influence the relative humidity in the construction, are identified by means of the method of Morris. The most influential material parameters are varied for specific boundary conditions using Latin Hypercube sampling, resulting in a wide range of relative humidity values (~51 % until ~99 %) on OSB surface. Low relative humidity values on OSB are obtained with a Pareto-optimal material parameter set. |
