Abstract

Temperature and moisture measurements were made in a ventilated attic on a house with 200 mm mineral wool insulation. The measurements showed that 1) solar radiation had a great effect on the temperature in the attic; 2) moisture content reached a level below the risk of mold formation – no mold was seen. The measurements were compared with simulations for insulation thickness from 50 to 500 mm. The calculations indicated that the temperature was nearly the same when the attic was insulated with 200 to 500 mm; hence increased insulation was not a problem. The important assumption was that the roof was constructed with a moisture barrier.
