Abstract

The present paper investigates existing studies on hygrothermal performance of rammedearth constructions. First a short overview of existing simulation tools at whole building level, able to deal with hygrothermal phenomena is presented. Then, existing cases of hygrothermal analysis of rammed earth construction are discussed. Finally, some recommendations are given for hygrothermal simulations of rammed earth constructions at whole building level. It appears clearly that additional researches are needed to analyze and quantify precisely the hygrothermal behavior of rammed earth walls, and their impact on indoor conditions. In parallel, many advanced simulation tools are available, and their use should be encouraged.
