Experimental Study to Evaluate the Thermal and Condensation Performance of Steel Stud Walls in Steel-Framed Schools

철골조학교(鐵骨造學校) 스틸스터드 벽체(壁體)의 단열(斷熱) 및 결로방지(結露防止) 성능(性能) 평가(評價)를 위한 실험적(實驗的) 연구(硏究)

The thermal and condensation performance of steel stud walls are monitored in steel-framed schools of Ee-Wol Elementary School and kindergarten using temperature and humidity sensors installed. The monitoring process carried out during the summer and winter period, shows decrement effect of the external heat flow to be quite remarkable and excellent. And steel stud walls provides a highly efficient time-lag effect in spite of its light weight property, with 30 minutes to 4 hours time-lag for external heat flow, which variation mainly depends on its location of each part of the wall. Any condensation phenomena are not observed in either external or internal surfaces.
