Improving the thermal performance of concrete-sandwich envelopes in relation to the moisture behaviour of building structures in boreal conditions

Application of Building Information Modelling (BIM) in the Health Monitoring and Maintenance Process: A Systematic Review

“…Structural health monitoring has various fields that affect energy and cost-saving of buildings such as thermal transport, monitoring of thermal condition, air exchange, and moisture control [ 242 , 243 ]. The context of existing and future residential structures for hydro-thermal modelling and monitoring tools was another subject for health monitoring [ 244 ]. The advantages of utilization BIM for monitoring and optimization of complex refurbishment cases were the main subject of various studies that investigated the barriers and research directions of this approach [ 121 , 245 , 246 , 247 , 248 , 249 ].…”

Study of Different Climate and Boundary Conditions on Hygro-Thermal Properties of Timber-Framed Envelope

“…Current structures tend to be highly insulated causing a significant gradient in the hygro-thermal conditions inside the multi-layer building components (Fedorik et al, 2015). A certain combination of temperature and humidity exposure leads to favorable conditions for mould growth (Hukka et al, 1999;Viitanen et al, 2007;Viitanen et al, 2010) and the existence of mould spores may cause allergic reactions (Mundarri and Fisk, 2007).…”
