6. EPA-Review-7/26-27-06 - 6 Research Objectives and Scope Specific objectives for the two year period (EPA03): o Develop a VOC extraction method o Develop a fundamental mechanistic model for simulating the combined heat, air, moisture and pollutant (CHAMP) transport u the effects of wall cavities and cracks u in-material diffusions and sorption on the VOC transport. o Evaluate the extraction method and the model by conducting small and full-scale experiments u A typical wood-framed residential wall assembly u Assembly materials: interior paints, gypsum wallboards, insulation materials, and oriented strand boards “The ultimate goal of this research is to develop reliable and practical model-based test and prediction methods for rating products, and for predicting the long-term VOC emissions over the products’ service life.”
