Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0003-4278-6622 Detailed territorial estimation of design thermal conductivity for façade materials in North-Eastern Spain 2015 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted The hygrothermal performance of building envelopes varies based on the temperature and moisture content of their materials. However, multiple building codes adopt constant conductivity values for construction materials based on standardised conditions that do not represent real operating conditions. Currently, a new procedure allows for correcting these normative conductivity values with a limited calculation effort, taking into account the characteristic environmental conditions of each location. This article combines climate records compiled at 313 weather stations distributed in North-Eastern Spain and uses this method to determine the applicable correction factors for materials of masonry façades. The exhaustive characterisation of this geographic area allows for creating correction isopleth maps that may be functionally integrated into building codes to improve the thermal design of buildings at any site of the territory. The results indicate a lower need to correct in mountainous areas, while the Mediterranean coast and the Ebro river valley exhibit larger deviations from normative values with respect to the actual conductivity of the materials. These corrections have been validated in two important cities in this area, Barcelona and Zaragoza. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO-FEDER/BIA2012-31609 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc-nd https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/deed.es 2.973 2015 CONSTRUCTION & BUILDING TECHNOLOGY 6 / 60 = 0.1 2015 Q1 T1 ENGINEERING, CIVIL 6 / 126 = 0.048 2015 Q1 T1 ENERGY & FUELS 31 / 88 = 0.352 2015 Q2 T2 2.04 2015 Building and Construction 2015 Q1 Mechanical Engineering 2015 Q1 Electrical and Electronic Engineering 2015 Q1 Civil and Structural Engineering 2015 Q1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Domínguez-Hernández, J.
