- Abstract
The long-term exposure of a contemporary hollow brick block with the cavities filled by hydrophobic mineral wool to the external environment is studied in a laboratory critical experiment. The studied brick block is exposed to difference climatic conditions. On the exterior side winter conditions corresponding to the reference climatic year for Prague, Czech Republic are applied, while on the interior side the conditions for residential houses are simulated. Based on the temperature and relative humidity profiles monitored across the studied brick sample having the real thickness of a single-layer building envelope, it can be concluded that the hygrothermal performance of the block is satisfactory.
