Today, buildings still account for almost half of the global energy consumption and carbon
emission. This highlights the necessity to increase energy efficiency requirements worldwide …

This study presents a state-of-the-art review of the evolution of probabilistic hygrothermal
assessments of building envelopes. First, relevant literature was identified by employing a …

The present project investigated the hygrothermal performance and risk of mould growth in
solid masonry walls fitted with three diffusion-open capillary active interior insulation …

The building envelop is generally considered as our third skin. Moss growth and mold
growth are constrains which reduce the strength of the third skin. This study is aimed to …

Mould growth results from a complex interaction between environmental factors, material
properties, and mould fungi characteristics. These interactions must be considered during …

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

The architectural façade has been a site of intensive experimentation and innovation
throughout the 20th century, something that continues to this day, resulting in a vast range of …

This paper deals with mathematical modeling of mold growth on wood. The logistic growth
equation is used to model mold growth phenomena in changing environmental conditions …

Timber envelopes provide multiple benefits in reducing both operational and embodied
energy environmental impacts in construction. However, when poorly designed, they may …

Probabilistic-based approaches for the performance evaluation of building envelopes to
withstand mould growth have gained significant attention in recent years. In this article, a …
