High-R Walls for New Construction Structural Performance: Wind Pressure Testing

Stacey Rothgeb, Stacey Rothgeb (NREL Technical Monitor)

Building Technologies and Science Center

Research output: NREL › Subcontract Report

Abstract

This technical report is focused primarily on laboratory testing that evaluates wind pressure performance characteristics for wall systems constructed with exterior insulating sheathing. This research and test activity will help to facilitate the ongoing use of non-structural sheathing options and provide a more in-depth understanding of how wall system layers perform in response to high windperturbations normal to the surface.
