Metal Stud Walls

Post by Dave Bryan » Mon May 10, 2010 5:48 am -1100

Do we know how well one-dimensional WUFI models the behavior of the components between the studs in metal stud walls in cold climates? Are there any research papers about this?

Dear Dave,

our experience is, if

1) the wooden stud distance is about 80 cm or more.
2) you have only one insulation layer.

the calculation results in between the studs are OK.
