Request for Theoretical Model: Latent Heat Impact on Indoor Climate in WUFI Plus

Post by mm3315 »

Dear WUFI Support Team
I am currently using WUFI Plus to conduct a research project focused on the impact of latent heat flux from building envelopes on indoor temperature and relative humidity. My goal is to analyze how moisture buffering and phase changes within the wall assembly affect the indoor climate and energy demand.To accurately interpret my simulation results and perform a sensitivity analysis on material parameters (such as the $\mu$-value and sorption isotherm), I need to fully understand the underlying mathematical model used by the software kernel.However, I have reviewed the standard User Manual and the Result Analysis documentation, but I could not find the specific governing equations regarding:How the latent heat of evaporation/condensation is calculated within the component .How this latent heat flux is coupled with the indoor air nodein the energy balance equation.Could you please point me to the specific reference document, theoretical manual, or key papers that define these coupled equations?Thank you very much for your assistance.
Best regards,
mm
