Effect of Environmental Conditions on Energy Efficiency of AAC-based Building Envelopes
Calculations of energy efficiency of several AACbased
building envelopes under different climatic conditions are
presented. As thermal insulating materials, expanded polystyrene and
hydrophobic and hydrophilic mineral wools are assumed. The
computations are accomplished using computer code HEMOT
developed at Department of Materials Engineering, Faculty of Civil
Engineering at the Czech Technical University in Prague. The
climatic data of Athens, Kazan, Oslo, Prague and Reykjavík are
obtained using METEONORM software.
