The effect of moisture transportation on energy efficiency and IAQ in residential buildings
93
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of moisture transfer on energy efficiency, thermal comfort and mold growth risks in residential buildings based on the hygrothermal simulation is investigated, and the results suggest that heating and cooling energy can be underestimated without consideration of moisture transportation mechanisms in the building energy simulation.

Hygric properties of porous building materials: Analysis of measurement repeatability and reproducibility
TL;DR: In this paper, the same materials as those used in the EC HAMSTAD project are chosen as target materials in their tests to facilitate error analysis, and the experimental results are analyzed in combination with the ECHAMSTAD report to calculate various errors.

Thermal comfort and indoor air quality in low-income housing in Spain: The influence of airtightness and occupant behaviour
TL;DR: In this paper, thermal comfort and indoor air quality in residential buildings with different degrees of airtightness was studied in two climates in Spain, and the IAQ of the buildings studied, erected before energy efficiency regulations were in place (1939-79) and lacking mechanical ventilation, was compared to their air tightness.

Simulation of indoor temperature and humidity conditions including hygrothermal interactions with the building envelope
TL;DR: In this article, a combined model that takes into account moisture sources and sinks inside a room, input from the envelope due to capillary action, diffusion and vapour absorption and desorption as a response to the exterior and interior climate conditions as well as the well-known thermal parameters is described.

Moisture effects on conduction loads
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of moisture on sensible and latent conduction loads are shown by using a heat and mass transfer model with variable material properties, under varying boundary conditions, and the model is then simplified to reduce calculation time and used to predict conduction peak load (CPL) and yearly integrated wall conduction heat flux (YHF) in three different cities: Singapore (hot/humid), Seattle (cold/hid) and Phoenix (hot /dry).

Mould and Winter Indoor Relative Humidity in Low Income Households in England
TL;DR: This paper examined the extent to which variation in heating season, indoor relative humidity (RH) and mould occurrence in English households is explained by dwelling and household characteristics, based on analysis of data from a national study of England's Home Energy Efficiency scheme (Warm Front) which provides grants for energy efficiency improvements to vulnerable households.
