The precision of methods used for the determination of hygric properties of porous building
materials was investigated. The study was performed in the framework of the EU-initiated …

The standardised Glaser method for calculation, prediction and evaluation of moisture
performance is considered as rarely applicable. The present state of knowledge, analytical as well …

Most building materials are porous, composed of solid matrix and pores. The time varying
indoor and outdoor climatic conditions result heat, air and moisture (HAM) transfer across …

Several advanced non-destructive techniques are available to measure the evolution of
content profiles with time, allowing the analysis of unsaturated flow and the determination of the …

There is a continuous dynamic heat, air and moisture (HAM) interaction between the indoor
environment, building envelope and mechanical systems. In spite of these interdependences…

Water absorption coefficient of a material governs the liquid moisture movement into it. In the
case of various components of a building envelope, in particular exterior claddings, this is …

Energy efficiency of the built environment greatly depends on the performance of the
insulating materials used in the building envelope construction. Vacuum insulation panels (VIPs) …

The hygrothermal behaviour of timber frame wall is analysed using a steady-state calculation
method and a two-dimensional heat, air, and moisture transport computer model. The …

Background Parents of babies admitted to the Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU) undergo
considerable stress. There is evidence that mindfulness reduces stress in these parents. …

The moisture design of exterior walls in a building envelope is an important task that needs
to be carried out systematically to generate a sustainable and healthy built environment. …
