Investigating the thermal insulation properties of hollow bricks for different construction arrangements, ceramic materials and mortar properties
Title:
Investigating the thermal insulation properties of hollow bricks for different construction arrangements, ceramic materials and mortar properties;
In
This dissertation was written as a part of the MSc in Energy Building Design at the International Hellenic University. In order to investigate the thermal properties of hollow
bricks for different construction arrangements, ceramic materials and mortar properties.
The investigation of the thermal performance was conducted according to the EN
1745:2012
and the ISO 6946:2015 on several brick designs popular in the Greek market.
During this investigation, models of the various designs where build in COMSOL, in
order to investigate the thermal performances as units and as wall sections. The voids of
the models where simulated for various insulating materials, like expanded polystyrene,
perlite and low emissivity treatment.
The models where also simulated for various conductivities (clay and mortar) and the
effect of each modification was analyzed and quantified.
