Influence of driving rain and vapour diffusion on the hygrothermal performance of a hygroscopic and permeable building envelope

Abstract

Most natural building materials are hygroscopic and permeable to water vapour. These two characteristics have the potential to improve the longevity and indoor air quality of buildings. However, the potential of winter condensation due to vapour diffusion and the risk of mold growth should be assessed for safeguarding the longevity of building assemblies.
