Numerical analysis on the hygrothermal behavior of building envelope according to CLT wall assembly considering the hygrothermal-environmental zone in Korea.

In this study, the hygrothermal environmental zone considering not only the thermal environment but also the hygric environment was derived by analyzing the climate environment in Korea. The hygrothermal environmental zone has the advantage of being able to take into account the hygrothermal environment of the unexplored regions and to cope with climate change by quantifying the thermal and hygric environmental indexes in each region. Finally, the long-term moisture risk of the building envelopes was evaluated. As the results, it is considered that the proposed hygrothermal environmental zone is appropriate and it is necessary to consider the hygric environment in order to secure the moisture stability of the building envelope.
