Experimental determination of drying capacity of wood-frame envelope systems for comparative studies and limit state verification

The building envelope protects the occupants against outdoor weather and contains the indoor environment to provide comfort for the occupants. As demonstrated through field observations and large-scale experimental tests, wind-driving rain can penetrate the building envelope through design defects o...
