Program: |
Mr.
John Edgar of the Sto Corp. will present a program
based on the current US Dept. of Energy [DOE]
research project studying various wall types. |
| |
The
DOE and the EIFS Industry Members Association (EIMA)
jointly funded a 3 year (15 months completed) field
research project conducted by the Oak Ridge National
Laboratory (ORNL) on moisture intrusion, drying
potential and energy performance of the following
exterior cladding systems:
- Exterior
Insulation Finish Systems (EIFS)
- Brick
- Stucco
- Concrete block
- Cementitious
fiber board siding
In addition,
recently developed EIFS features were evaluated for
performance:
- Liquid applied
moisture control membranes
- Vapor retarder
systems
- Exterior
cladding venting
The primary goals of
the study are:
- To validate the
moisture and thermal performance of EIFS wall
systems
- To quantify the
performance of EIFS over other types of exterior
claddings
- To develop and
calibrate a hygrothermal (moisture and
temperature) computer model with the unique
features of EIFS that will validate the computer
model for all climatic regions
The study has
continued into a second year of field-testing,
incorporating additional configurations and wall
cladding parameters, such as purposefully induced
defects. |
