INVESTIGATIVE WALL MONITORING

Some examples of where we monitor and which sensors we use for certain wall types.

Parameters Measured

  • Interior air conditions

  • Moisture level in: plaster, interior brick, brick (inner and outer), sandstone (inner, outer and upper)  

  • Condensation level in: cavity air space

  • Differential pressure: interior and exterior air gap

  • External crack movement tracking

Wood Wall Monitoring: Research

Parameters Measured

​

  • Sheeting moisture content/condensation

  • Wall temperature profile: External wetting potential/siding 

  • MC differential pressure across assembly effects of solar influence on temperature and hydrothermal performance.

  • Transient R-Value, measuring energy transfer through assembly

  • Exterior conditions related to Interior conditions
