Building Science Corporation modeled typically well-performing wall assemblies using Wärme und Feuchte instationär (WUFI) Version 5.3 software and demonstrated that these models agree with historic experience when calibrated and modeled correctly. This technical report provides a library of WUFI modeling input data and results. Within the limits of existing experience, this information can be generalized for applications to a broad population of houses.
