PREDICTING THE THERMAL PERFORMANCE of insulating materials in the presence of moisture is a complex problem. It is possible to define the apparent thermal conductivity of a moist insulant, but measuring this conductivity is very difficult because moisture flow and phase changes also affect heat transfer.
