Description: Depending upon the choice of building system the whole wall performance may not be consistent. Five test buildings located at the Alternative Village on the University of Manitoba campus in Winnipeg are currently being monitored to evaluate wall behaviour in a northern prairie climate. The wall systems currently being investigated are concrete with external foam, polyurethane structural insulated panels, dense packed cellulose, and fibreglass batt insulation. The batt-insulated structure has been chosen to be the benchmark as it represents the dominant vernacular approach to residential construction in Winnipeg. The test buildings are 4.88 m x 4.88 m (16ft x 16 ft) square by 2.4 m (8ft) in height to the bottom chord of the truss roof. All buildings are identically oriented with respect to the cardinal compass directions. Each structure has the same floor and roof system with the walls being the only variable. This paper presents some preliminary results of a monitoring programme.
