Abstract (EN): Building pathologies originated by moisture are frequently responsible for the degradation of building components and can affect users¿ health and comfort. The solutions for treating moisture related pathologies are complex and, many times, of difficult implementation. Several of these pathologies are due to innovative techniques combined with new materials of poorly predicted performance. The knowledge of the physical processes that define hygrothermal behaviour allows for the prediction of a building response to climatic solicitation and for the selection of envelope solutions that will lead to required feasibility. © 2013, The Author(s).
