Hygrothermal performance of an experimental hemp–lime building [PDF]
Construction and Building Materials, 2012 The use of hemp-lime as a construction technique is a novel approach which combines renewable low carbon materials with exceptional hygrothermal performance. The hemp plant can grow up to 4m over a four month period, with a low fertilizer and irrigation demand, making it very efficient in the use of time and material resources.

Impact of the occupancy scenario on the hygrothermal performance of a room
Building and Environment, 2019 Abstract Nowadays, humidity in buildings has become a major concern because it affects their energy performance, the occupants' comfort and health, and the durability of materials simultaneously. To understand the behavior of buildings towards humidity, numerical models are needed.

Hygrothermal Performance of Adobe Structures
IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2023 Abstract Vernacular architecture incorporates many cooling and heating passive design strategies related to the structural envelope, the different architectural arrangements and the way of living of the inhabitants. Adobe walls are considered to be high thermal mass masonries, as they have the ability to store thermal energy.

Effect Mechanism and Simulation of Voids on Hygrothermal Performances of Composites [PDF]
Polymers, 2022 Voids are comment defects generated during the manufacturing process and highly sensitive to moisture in the hygrothermal environment, which has deleterious effects on the mechanical performances. However, the combined impact of void content and water-absorbed content on mechanical properties is not clear.

Hygrothermal performance of vernacular stone in a desert climate [PDF]
Construction and Building Materials, 2019 Remote desert communities are often the most vulnerable to temperature extremes, as lack of access to reliable electricity prevents the use of active cooling or heating. Hence, there is a need to investigate how the building envelope itself can be used to passively regulate indoor environments.
