Hygrothermal performance of a whole building

open access: yes, 2022
9 S.The hygrothermal behaviour of the building envelope affects the overall performance of a building. There are numerous tools for the simulation of the heat and moisture transfer in the building envelope and also whole building simulation tools for ...

An investigation into the moisture content of the walls of a straw-bale building [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
This paper examines the use and accuracy of a moisture probe used in the walls of a straw-bale building. The performance of the moisture probe is assessed against laboratory-based measurements.

Evaluation of Moisture Ageing Status of Cross‐Linked Polyethylene Insulation in Power Cables at Different Temperatures

open access: yesHigh Voltage, Volume 11, Issue 2, Page 410-420, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Cross‐linked polyethylene (XLPE) cables play an important role in power systems to transport electrical energy, and moisture is one of the important predisposing factors for insulation failure in medium and high‐voltage cables. In this paper, a temperature‐moisture accelerated ageing experiment is designed, and a method for assessing the ...

Combustion Performance of Silicone Rubber Polymer Insulation Material Under Damp‐Heat Ageing Conditions: Molecular Insights Into the Effects of Structural Changes on Macroscopic Properties

open access: yesHigh Voltage, Volume 11, Issue 2, Page 589-599, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Silicone rubber (SR), an organic silicon polymer material, is known for its excellent heat resistance and mechanical properties. It is widely used in composite insulators and cable accessory materials. However, the ageing caused by humidity and heat significantly impacts its performance, an issue that cannot be ignored. This paper investigates

Gall responses to drying habitats: Insights from the community of galling herbivores associated with the superhost Caryocar brasiliense Cambess. (Caryocaraceae)

open access: yesPlant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 3, Page 924-938, April 2026.
Drying processes in the Brazilian palm swamps or Veredas, impact the gall community in adjacent vegetation by reducing the abundance of more sensitive galls, while more resilient galls acclimate to increased dryness by developing thicker protective tissues. Abstract Galls are new plant organs formed in response to the stimuli of gall‐inducing organisms,

Moisture-Related Risks in Internally Insulated Historic Field Stone Masonry Walls: A Long-Term Hygrothermal Assessment Under Past and Future Climate

open access: yesBuildings
Improving the energy efficiency of historic field stone masonry buildings often requires internal insulation, as external insulation is frequently restricted by heritage and architectural constraints. Internal insulation, however, alters the hygrothermal
