TL;DR: In this paper, the results of static and dynamic hygric tests on 114 unfired clay masonry samples are presented, and the results indicate that these materials have a much higher potential to regulate the indoor humidity than conventional construction materials.

TL;DR: In this paper, three basic mixtures were prepared, by mechanical compaction, with different types of clays: quarry fine, kaolinite, and bentonite, and the results demonstrated that the earth-bentonite gave the best hygric performance in terms of humidity buffering and, when used in conjunction with an HVAC system, achieved a significant (30%) operational energy saving.
140 citations
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the hygrothermal performance of buildings with walls constructed from hemp-lime components and show that moisture transport inclusion has a large influence on zone relative humidity but little influence on overall heating and cooling demand.
56 citations
TL;DR: A novel intelligent humidity control composite material with excellent humidity control performances has been prepared, comprising a natural polymer derivative (carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)), a porous natural mineral (sepiolite), and an acrylic acid (AA)/acrylamide (AM) copolymer as discussed by the authors.
51 citations
TL;DR: In this article, a proposal is made to indicate all of the case characteristics, and their response to the ambient, with appropriate indexes, which represent the level of quality in view of the specific problems of the user.
