Hygrothermal Performance of Building Envelopes in the Tropics Under Operative Conditions: Condensation and Mould Growth Risk Appraisal
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Poor indoor hygrothermal performance increases the risk of indoor moisture problems and deterioration due to mould growth, corrosion and damage to archival materials. Hence, proper control of indoor thermohygric intensity abates indoor moisture and its associated problems. This paper presents the results of envelopes hygrothermal performance assess
