Application of Machine Learning to Assist a Moisture Durability Tool
Energies, 2023 The design of moisture-durable building enclosures is complicated by the number of materials, exposure conditions, and performance requirements. Hygrothermal simulations are used to assess moisture durability, but these require in-depth knowledge to be ...

Hygrothermal performance of bio-based insulation materials [PDF]
Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Construction Materials, 2013 Bio-based insulation materials have the potential to make a significant contribution to the reduction in the global warming potential of the construction industry world-wide. They contribute in two ways. First they provide the opportunity to reduce the embodied energy in the fabric of buildings.

Towards moisture safe ventilated cold attics – Monitored conditions in a full-scale test building [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2020 Existing building stock in Europe accounts for approx. 40% of the total energy consumption. Upgrading the thermal insulation of the existing buildings is an important measure to reduce heat losses through the building envelope.

Hygrothermal performance of building envelopes in the tropics under operative conditions : condensation and mould growth risk appraisal [PDF]
, 2016 Poor indoor hygrothermal performance increases the risk of indoor moisture problems and deterioration due to mould growth, corrosion and damage to archival materials. Hence, proper control of indoor thermohygric intensity abates indoor moisture and its
