Moisture and Bio-deterioration Risk of Building Materials and Structures
Hannu Viitanen,Juha Vinha,Kati Salminen,Tuomo Ojanen,Ruut Hannele Peuhkuri,Leena Paajanen,Kimmo Lähdesmäki +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the demands on durability, energy balance, and energy balance of buildings are discussed, and several biological processes causing aging and damage to buildings are identified, such as natural aging of materials and excessive moisture.

Designing highly insulated cross-laminated timber external walls in terms of hygrothermal performance: Field measurements and simulations
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors evaluated the impact of vapour permeable and low permeable highly insulated external wall assemblies, façade orientation, and initial moisture content on the hygrothermal performance of cross-laminated timber (CLT) external walls.
Journal ArticleDOI
Parametric Study of Lightweight Wooden Wall Assemblies for Cold and Subarctic Climates Using External Insulation
TL;DR: In this article , the authors proposed fully externally insulated wall assemblies that could be used in cold and subarctic climates by assessing the benefits of the hygrothermal performance of these assemblies and by achieving a comparable airtightness and sound transmission performance.
Moisture performance of energy efficient buildings
Tuomo Ojanen,Miimu Airaksinen +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the long period moisture performance of structures having relatively low U-values (0.14 W/Km 2 and 0.09 W/km 2 for walls) was analyzed using VTT mold model that integrates temperature, humidity and exposure time when predicting possible mould growth for different building materials.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the potential of clustering approaches for hygrothermal material properties based on three degradation risks in solid masonry constructions
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors evaluated the similarity in brickwork obtained by clustering according to Zhao was evaluated by means of hygrothermal simulations to see whether bricks in the same cluster show similar degradation risks.
