Summer behavior of walls - WUFI Pro

Hi,
Is it possible with WUFI Pro analyzing the summer behavior of a wall?
In particular can the software calculates:
-Thermal inertia (such as periodic transmittance)
-Vapor Permeability and hygroscopicity of walls [5]
- Cooling speed of the wall.
Thank you

Yes, you can analyze that all with WUFI Pro.

Thank you for your answer.
Could you give me some advises how to define them. I've been trying to work on it but i want be sure to obtain the right result.
Thank you

Mhh, maybe you should read the WUFI Pro manual first:
https://wufi.de/en/service/downloads/ -> Pro Manual
and than the Handling of typical constructions in WUFI:
https://wufi.de/en/service/downloads/ -> Handling of typical constructions in WUFI
The material properties in the database contain information about the vapor permeability and hygroscopicity, so that is calculated automatically. The thermal inertia you can access by evaluating the heat fluxes after calculation and for the cooling speed have a look on the change of temperature in the results for your desired material.
