The construction industry is currently one of the least digitised. However, due to recent technological developments, building information modelling and management (BIM) systems are increasingly being used increase efficiency constructions sustainable use resources energy buildings. In case new or renovations, properly designed hygrothermal behaviour materials, elements structures unavoidable a...

Unwanted sound reflection can create acoustic discomfort and lead to problems of speech comprehensibility. Contemporary building techniques enable highly finished internal walls resulting in sound reflective surfaces. In contrast, sustainable construction materials using natural and vegetal materials, are often more porous and absorptive. Hemp shiv is used as an aggregate and when mixed with li...

Three biopolymers were tested as rammed earth (RE) stabilizers, evaluating their impact on the hygrothermal behavior from material to building scale. Hygrothermal characterization included determination of sorption isotherm, water vapor permeability, thermal conductivity at different moisture content, and specific heat capacity. The data used input for simulation whole-building scale considerin...

The objective of this work is to quantify the effects short-term climate change with a multiyear (MY) approach on results heat and moisture transfer simulations an historic building located in Udine (Italy) evaluate if single year simulation could be representative obtained MY. hygrothermal performance related risk are evaluated for brick wall without insulation, MY 25 years three selected form...
