The effects of increased thermal insulation in timber-framed external walls with thin gypsum board as a wind barrier

The effects of increased thermal insulation in timber-framed external walls with thin gypsum board as a wind barrier - Dataset

Description

This dataset includes measured data from the field measurement of four timber-framed exterior wall constructions. All the walls were equipped with gypsum board wind barrier having a minimal thermal resistance. Insulation thicknesses of 150 mm and 300 mm, demonstrating a moderate and a very effective levels of thermal insulation, were compared. Wooden cladding and brick veneer were compared as façade materials. Measurements were done in a test building of Tampere University, Tampere, Finland. The coordinates of the campus are 61°27' N, 23°52’ E. Ground height at test building site is approximately 135 m above sea level. The site is rather protected area, with the modest wind and driving rain load. The test was performed between 13 September 2020 and 30 November 2021.
