The article presents a new approach to determining the risk of mold growth in buildings. To
assess this phenomenon, we use the so-called limit temperature factor f Rsi calculated …

Trials to model combined heat, air, moisture transfer in and through building assemblies
started in the 1930-ties, when the first methodologies surfaced that coupled steady state …

Predicting mould growth on façade constructions during design is important for preventing
financial loss, and ensuring a healthy and comfortable indoor environment. Uncertainties in …

In this study, the indoor humidity loads in 101 lightweight timber-frame detached houses
occupied by single families have been measured and analyzed. The temperature and …

In 1996, ASHRAE formed a new Standard Project Committee, ASHRAE 160P, to develop a
standardfor moisture control in buildings. The draft standard __" Criteria for Mois ture Control …

Today, there is an increased research effort on improving energy efficiency in heritage
buildings through retrofit measures. Hygrothermal simulations tools are often used to assess …

A two-dimensional heat, air and moisture transport model called hyglRC is adapted to
simulate a well-documented field exposure of an aerated concrete wall section. Difficulties …

Knowledge of the expected longfterm performance of building envelopes subjected to
simultaneous heat and moisture transport is critical during the design stage. The last few …

Moisture-induced damage is one of the major causes of degradations and reduced thermal
performance in wood frame buildings. It is therefore crucial to incorporate the hygrothermal …

This study determined indoor and outdoor boundary conditions as design values for
hygrothermal design and indoor climate and energy simulations. They include moisture …
