Improving hygrothermal properties of clay [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The requirement to reduce operational energy use in the built environment has driven a rise in the level of building envelope airtightness. An unintentional consequence of this can be a reduction in the indoor environment quality with respect to hygrothermal comfort.
