<p class="MsoNormal">You could run a hygrothermal simulation to assess changing internal conditions and the effects of moisture on the fabric using the EnergyPlus HAMT option. You can do that via DesignBuilder, which many of the students in Loughborough are
using, so you may want to speak to them in the first instance.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">In my research project I am looking at the movement of moisture in a brick wall through both modelling and experimentation. For this project I would like to mimic real world situations as closely as possible. For the exterior boundary conditions
this is not a problem. On the other hand, I have trouble finding data for the internal boundary conditions (mainly temperature (T) and relative humidity (HR)). I am looking into modelling a typical bedroom for an UK situation. The only data I have is the mean
values for RH and T, but this is a fixed point and not an diurnal cycle. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My question is if someone knows if data is available showing daily RH and T cycles in typical bedrooms, either from measurements or from modelling?<o:p></o:p></p>
