通过三维热模拟、二维热、空气和水分传输组合模拟、校准和防护热箱（ISO 8990）中的实验室测试、全尺寸结构的耐候性测试，对新型轻钢框架建筑围护结构系统的湿热性能进行了分析，在芬兰中部YlÃrvi的实验建筑进行腐蚀测试和现场测量。结果表明，基于穿孔钢钉的现代钢墙结构在芬兰寒冷气候下表现良好。 穿孔显著减少了沿型材腹板的热量损失。现场测量表明，框架系统中没有发生冷凝。示范建筑的温度测量和红外调查表明，墙壁内表面的温度足够高，可以防止表面冷凝，甚至增加表面湿度，从而导致表面霉菌生长。根据计算，在芬兰气候下，钢框架在其预计使用寿命内不存在腐蚀风险。 然而，气候对性能有重要影响，结构的设计应考虑气候条件。单元:SICitation:研讨会，ASHRAE交易，1998年，第104卷，第2部分，多伦多

Hygrothermal performance of a new light gauge steel-framed building envelope system has been analyzed using three-dimensional thermal simulations, two-dimensional combined heat, air, and moisture transfer simulations, laboratory testing in a calibrated and guarded hot box (ISO 8990), weather resistance tests for full-sized structures, and corrosion tests and field measurements at experimental buildings in Ylöjärvi, central Finland. The results show that a modern steel wall structure based on perforated steel studs performs satisfactorily in the cold climate of Finland. The perforations significantly reduce heat loss along the web of the profile. The field measurements show that no condensation has occurred in the frame system. Temperature measurements and infrared surveys in demonstration buildings show that temperatures on the inner surface of the wall are sufficiently high to prevent surface condensation or even increased surface humidity that could cause mold growth on the surface. According to the calculations, there are no corrosion risks in the steel frames during their estimated service life in the Finnish climate. The climate, however, has an important effect on performance, and the structures should be designed with regard to climatic conditions.Units: SI
