Abstract
Solar radiation on wet porous claddings may produce inward vapour flow and condensation. In warm and humid climates, such phenomenon must be considered in the building envelope design. Although no major failure due to solar-driven moisture condensation in cold climates have been reported, such moisture transport may occur, and it is not known to what extent summer condensation must be prevented in Canadian climates. The objective of the project presented in this thesis is to investigate the phenomenon and the factors that influence it. The thesis presents an experimental protocol including test specimen design, monitoring instrumentation and loading conditions. Varied parameters include a wet cladding subjected to simulated solar radiation, location of the vapour retarder and ventilation of the air cavity. Solar radiation is simulated using heat lamps. Experimental results on the hygrothermal performance of walls with wet cladding subjected to simulated solar radiation are presented. Experimental results are further analyzed with the dew-point method and a commercial heat and mass transport model.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
