Analysis of the hygrothermal behavior of residential high-rise building components / [author, A. Karagiozis]. : NH18-1/385-1997E-PDF
“High-rise buildings as defined by the Canadian National Building Code is a construction entity that does not fall under Part 9 of the Code. Usually, high-rise buildings are composed of four or more floors. Two general types of high-rise buildings exist: commercial and residential. This project deals with high-rise buildings of the residential type. Being residential high-rise buildings, they are more diverse in design layout, mechanical systems employed, in the choice of exterior facade types and in their specific site. The hygrothermal (combined heat-air and moisture transfer) performance of various building envelope systems are investigated in this report for residential high-rise buildings. The primary aim of this joint IRC-CMHC project was to understand the system performance of various high-rise wall and roof parts with respect to heat-air and moisture transport. Another important aim was to predict the long-term performances of various retrofit strategies from which these wall systems benefited"--Intro., p. 1.
