Abstract	This document provides guidance on the use of heat, air and moisture transfer (hereinafter referred to as hygrothermal) models to provide results from which to infer the durability of building elements, which include building envelope materials, components and assemblies in opaque wall systems. It is intended for use by expert practitioners who have knowledge of the use of hygrothermal models to provide results used to inform on the resilience of envelope design, have an understanding of the principles of applied building physics, and are familiar with the durability of building materials, components and assemblies.
