English abstract:
This paper is concerned with metrological assessments of interior insulations. Results from moisture and temperature measurements conducted over a period of three years will be compared with results
from simulations. The project described represents an attempt to insulate a 19th century townhouse on the interior by using insulating wall panels made out of reeds and clay plaster. Using the
HAM3D_VIE simulator various levels of insulation thickness and room climates as well as measured temperatures and relative humidity will be compared with each other. Finally analyses are introduced on how the simulated levels of insulation thickness influence the danger of mould development based on the isopleths-model. Thereby, it clearly shows that a combination of insulating wall panels made out of reeds and clay plaster makes for a very well-functioning interior insulation alternative.
