   Abstract : Kontinuerligt försvårade och mer krävande energikrav utlyst från den Europeiska unionen ochsvenska myndigheter har lett till en förändring av hur konstruktionsdetaljer och lösningar somanvänds inom nyproduktionssektorn utformas. Förändringarna har skapat en osäkerhet ur enfuktsäkerhetssynpunkt. READ MORE

3. 2. Investigating the performance of hempcrete as an option for retrofitting masonry buildings

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö; Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign

   Author : Henry Lanham; [2019]
   Keywords : Hempcrete; lime-hemp Miljöbyggnad; moisture safety; future climate; energy use; mould risk.; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : One fifth of the energy consumed by buildings in Sweden is by those built before 1945, many of them constructed from solid masonry walls. Improving their heating energy consumption is a challenge we must face in light of human’s impact on climate change as well as increasing energy costs. READ MORE

4. 3. Moisture risks with CLT-panels subjected to outdoor climate during construction : focus on mould and wetting processes

   University essay from KTH/Byggteknik och design

   Author : Johan Öberg; Erik Wiege; [2018]
   Keywords : moisture; CLT; massive wood; mould; WUFI; drying; construction; weather protection. best practice; fukt; KL-trä; massivt trä; mögel; WUFI; torkning; konstruktion; väderskydd; best practice;

   Abstract : When going through relevant research, moisture safety guidelines and talking to builders, moisture experts and architects it is clear - and not surprising - that water and wood make no easy combination. The experiences from building with cross laminated timber (CLT) differ from building sites and there are good and bad examples building without weather protection. READ MORE

5. 4. Mould resistance design for external wood frame wall systems : Simulation and evaluation of wall structures under varying conditions of exposure using the MRD model

   University essay from KTH/Byggnadsteknik; KTH/Byggnadsmaterial

   Keywords : MRD; Mould growth; Wood frame wall systems; Moisture safety evaluation; WUFI; MRD; Mögel; Träregelväggar; Fuktsäkerhetsprojektering; WUFI;

   Abstract : Moisture induced damages to building envelopes can result in microbial growth possibly affecting the health and wellbeing of occupants. Recent failing structures and damaged buildings indicate a lack of tools to estimate risk of mould growth and moisture damage. READ MORE

6. 5. Concrete sandwich element design in terms of Passive Housing recommendations and moisture safety

   University essay from KTH/Byggvetenskap; KTH/Skolan för arkitektur och samhällsbyggnad (ABE)

   Author : Panagiotis Gkorogias; Susanna Gerges; [2015]
   Keywords : Concrete sandwich elements; thermal bridges; passive housing;

   Abstract : In this thesis project a concrete sandwich wall element of 250 mm insulation of Kooltherm has been resulted to have U-values and ψ-values closer to the passive housing recommendations. However, by using 180 mm thick insulation, no significant difference in the annual energy consumption is observed. READ MORE
