<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I am trying to evaluate the buffering effect of porous clay
plaster on internal humidity variations. A search of the list archive has drawn
a blank on this topic, so perhaps someone can shed some light on my queries.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>In the Type 56 manual, why is the mass of the surface buffer
calculated using twice the buffer thickness (Eq.6.4.3-10)? Is there a reason
for doubling the construction mass for moisture storage calculations?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>The Buffer Storage Example uses double the penetration depth
to calculate the surface buffer mass, as expected from Eq.6.4.3-10, but then
uses the actual layer depth to calculate the mineral wool mass in the deep
buffer – any explanations for this apparent discrepancy?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>The deep buffer mass in the example includes the surface
buffer mass - is this correct?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Finally, can anyone comment on the validity of the typical
surface exchange coefficient per m2 (Eq.6.4.3-11) when walls have a porous clay
plaster finish?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
