Measurement, Prediction And Simulation Methods of Moisture Content In Buildings

ABSTRACT: This thesis represented some information on prediction and controlling of moisture content in buildings. Extreme disclosure to moisture is not only a common cause of major damage to building materials, it also can lead to unhealthy indoor living environments. So predicate and control moisture content provides a durable and long-term performance building with energy efficiency. Different methods (mechanical, simulation and graphical) for predicating and controlling the moisture content are described in this thesis. The comparisons between these methods have been carried out by taking into consideration of the importance and performance of each method and its tools. Keywords: Moisture, moisture control, moisture prediction, moisture measurement. ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
