Abstract

The purpose of this study was reducing the moisture accumulation in a wall, which can threaten the structural safety of light-frame wall and make residential environment poor. For the purpose, the laboratory test was carried out with different wall assemblies. Vapor retarder and air gap for ventilation were added to the typical wall. The improved performance of the proposed walls was examined through the test with distinct difference of temperature and relative humidity between outdoor and indoor air conditions. Increased dampproofing performance of additional vapor retarder was effective on reduction of moisture transmission from inside the house into the wall. However, unexpected high relative humidity was shown in the wall with two additional vapor retarder because of excessive dampproofing performance or inadequate location of vapor retarder. And, the open air gap induced the moisture transfer from inside the wall into outdoor air by ventilation. If the alternative to the induction of moisture transmission from inside the house into the wall with open air gap can be found, moisture reduction effect of that will be increased obviously.

본 연구는 경골목조벽체의 구조적 안전성을 위협하고 주거환경을 열악하게 하는 벽체 내 수분축적을 감소시키기 위해 수행되었다. 이를 위해 벽체 구성 요소를 변화시켜 실험을 진행하였다. 벽체 구성요소는 방습지 및 공기층을 추가하였고, 이들의 변화에 따른 수분이동의 변화를 조사하기 위하여 실내외 온습도 차이가 뚜렷한 가혹조건에서 기본벽체와 제안벽체의 비교실험을 진행하였다. 실험결과 실내 측 방습지 추가로 방습성능을 높이는 것은 실내로부터의 수분이동 감소에 효과적으로 나타났지만 두 개의 방습지를 설치하는 경우 과도한 방습 성능이나 부적절한 위치선정으로 벽체의 내부의 상대습도를 높이는 것으로 나타났다. 공기층 추가는 환기 효과에 의해 벽체 내부에서 실외로 수분이동을 야기하였다. 공기층에 의해 실내로부터 벽체 내부로 유입되는 수분이동을 막을 대안을 찾는다면 환기에 의한 벽체 내 수분감소 효과를 극대화 할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
