ShareMould in dwellings: a building physics related approach.
Author(s) : HENS H. L. S. C.
Summary
Contrary to popular belief, surface condensation is not necessary for fungal defacement. Water activity above a threshold value suffices for mould growth. To study mould risk and establish performance criteria for a building, a thorough analysis of the heat, air, and moisture balance is needed at building, room, and surface level.
