Climate change affects performance of building materials and structures
Global warming is making conditions more favourable for mould. This means that more account must be taken of climate change when selecting building materials and designing structures.According to the worst-case scenarios, temperatures could rise by a few degrees by the end of the century. In addition to temperatures, rainfall is increasing in Finland and the northern hemisphere, while relative air humidity is rising. These developments are creating conditions more conducive to mould and microbial growth. In winter, there is more rain and less snow than before, wetting facade structures more
