Aplicación al código técnico de la edificación de avances en el estudio de la exposición a la humedad de fachadas
Abstract
Assessing the water penetration exposure of
building façades is a key task to guarantee
the water tightness requirement included in
the Spanish Building Technical Code since
- Recent studies have analysed the most
relevant climate parameters that characterize
this exposure at 80 Spanish locations. For this,
international standards transposed into the
Spanish framework were used.
These results allow assessing the performance of
the parameters that define the water tightness
degree required by the Spanish Code in the
building façades at each location. The findings
presented here highlight the need to revise
the parameters used to establish this degree,
with the goal of achieving a higher design
performance and improve the allocation of the
required façade systems in each case. For this,
new exposure maps that can be used for the
improvement of the Spanish Code are presented.
