[esp-r] modelling humidity transfer through wall

[Nicolas Aizier]

Dear All

I have been ask by the French association for the "promotion of the use 
of hemp as a material for building construction" to help them modelling 
the humidity transfer through concrete of hemp. Walls made of concrete 
hemp can absorb and reject humidity. The association has already studied 
this behaviours of walls in a lab and they wand to model it in order to 
demonstrate the impact on comfort and energy use in buildings.
Today this behaviours is not taking into account as a performance 
improvement within the French thermal regulation and they are looking 
for a tool that can help them to demonstrate the interest of using 
concrete of hemp as a building material, with the ultimate goal to make 
the regulation taking into account this performance improvement..

If someone has an experience in this kind of modelling with ESP-r, i'll 
be glad to have a feedback and advice to model such behavior with ESP-r.

Thanks in advance

Regards,

Nicolas
