Climate data for hygrothermal simulations of Brussels.

ABSTRACT: Moisture is a dominant agent in the degradation of building components. To assess degradation phenomena in building envelopes, hygrothermal simulations are performed. The hygrothermal behaviour of building envelopes depends on the outdoor climate conditions. Therefore, it is important to use climate data near the location of interest when running hygrothermal simulations. There are no appropriate climate data for hygrothermal simulations of Belgian cities. Therefore, we created two types of climate files for Brussels, i.e. the capital of Belgium. This paper presents the climate data that are selected based on the framework developed by Vandemeulebroucke et al. The first climate file is a long-term 30-year climate file. Using this climate file is the most reliable, but computationally expen
