Highlights

• Seasonal moisture distributions in building envelopes with different orientations.
• Surface insulation combined with high heat flow may motivate moisture to accumulate.
• Elucidation of the process of moisture accumulation within the building envelopes.
• Moisture accumulation induces fungi to perversely generate in building components.
• Three favourable periods for condensation, spore germination, and mycelial growth. Read more...
