“…Sufficient air-ventilation system is demonstrated to help alleviate dampness in buildings under construction. The use of drying equipment such as dehumidifiers and air blower for reverse air flow had proven to be significant in decreasing the risk of mold growth during construction and would be favorable during operation (Galvin, 2010).…”

“…This will leave the space empty and heat generated from equipment and human activity will be unable to balance the design temperature. Low room temperature will cause low surface temperature which contributes to condensation (Galvin, 2010).…”

“…To this end, the use of insulation had resulted in energy efficient improvement with the resultant HVAC energy consumption reduction [5,6]. Nonetheless, many detrimental effects had been reported as envelope insulation contributes to problems of moisture condensation and mould formation [4]. The reported moisture condensation risk can be explained from the submission of Johansson [7] where their study reiterated that envelope insulation yields different moisture content in the insulated wall.…”

“…Achieving energy efficiency in buildings had resulted in strict regulations on building envelope insulation and efficient heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems [4]. Envelope insulation provides resistance to heat transfer between the indoor and outdoor environment of a building.…”

“…In recent years, the growth of numerical analysis has been induced by the rapid development of simulation methods and the availability of software that supports numerical analyses [8][9][10][11] (i.e., the Finite Element Method [12,13]). Despite the probability of biological activity in wetted and poorly aerated structures, the present policy seeks to promote low-energy, high-closure housing [14].…”
