To complete this analysis, the research team collected field data, used computational fluid dynamics to quantify the airflow rates through individual airflow (crack) paths, simulated hourly flow rates through the leakage paths with CONTAM software, correlated the CONTAM flow rates with indoor humidity ratios from Building Energy Optimization software, and used \"Warme und Feuchte instationar Pro two-dimensional modeling\" to determine the moisture content of the building materials surrounding the cracks. \nGiven the number of simplifying assumptions and numerical models associated with this analysis, the results indicate that localized damage due to high moisture content of the roof sheathing is possible under very low airflow rates. Reducing the number of assumptions and approximations through field studies and laboratory experiments would be valuable to understand the real-world moisture damage potential in unvented attics.\n", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "http://www.eere.energy.gov/buildings/publications/pdfs/building_america/moisture-risk-unvented-attics.pdf", "description": "DOE Report", "format": "pdf", "mediaType": "application/pdf", "title": "Moisture Risk in Unvented Attics Due to Air Leakage Paths"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "BEopt Version 2.0.0.6.\nHPXML for 10ACH50 run", "downloadURL": "https://data.openei.org/files/5495/to4-7.1.3beopthpxml10ach50.xml", "format": "xml", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "TO4 7.1.3_BEopt_HPXML_10ach50.xml"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "BEopt Version 2.0.0.6.\nHPXML for 1ACH50 run", "downloadURL": "https://data.openei.org/files/5495/to4-7.1.3beopthpxml1ach50.xml", "format": "xml", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "TO4 7.1.3_BEopt_HPXML_1ach50.xml"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "BEopt Version 2.0.0.6.\nHPXML for 5ACH50 run", "downloadURL": "https://data.openei.org/files/5495/to4-7.1.3beopthpxml5ach50.xml", "format": "xml", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "TO4 7.1.3_BEopt_HPXML_5ach50.xml"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "From BEopt Version 2.0.0.6.\nHourly temperature and relative humidity output for three different cities, and three different ACH50 values for each city.", "downloadURL": "https://data.openei.org/files/5495/to4-7.1.3beopthoulryoutput.xlsx", "format": "xlsx", "mediaType": "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet", "title": "TO4 7.1.3_BEopt_HoulryOutput.xlsx"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "Version 2.0.0.6\nTemperature and humidity for 3 cities and 3 ACH50 values.", "downloadURL": "https://data.openei.org/files/5495/to4-7.1.3beopt.beopt", "format": "beopt", "mediaType": "application/octet-stream", "title": "TO4 7.1.3.beopt"}], "identifier": "https://data.openei.org/submissions/5495", "issued": "2016-04-27T06:00:00Z", "keyword": ["BEopt", "BuildingAmerica", "WUFI", "attic air leakage", "attic ventilation", "building america", "cathedralized attics", "closed-cell spray foam insulation", "cold", "computational fluid dynamics", "hygrothermal analysis", "moisture risk", "multifamily", "residential", "single family", "water vapor flow rate"], "landingPage": "https://data.openei.org/submissions/5495", "license": "https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/", "modified": "2023-11-01T16:40:27Z", "programCode": ["019:002"], "projectNumber": "FY14 AOP 1.9.1.19", "projectTitle": "Building America", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "Ibacos Innovation"}, "spatial": "{\"type\":\"Polygon\",\"coordinates\":[[[-93.265,44.9778],[-93.265,44.9778],[-93.265,44.9778],[-93.265,44.9778],[-93.265,44.9778]]]}", "title": "Moisture Risk in Unvented Attics Due to Air Leakage Paths - Minneapolis Minnesota"}
