The right materials for the right place – overall moisture control is a priority
Greater energy efficiency is being sought from more and more materials. The challenge can lie in lack of overall control.“Industry is continuously developing its products and seeking the lowest possible carbon footprint for construction. Energy efficiency and environmental standards require closer overall management," says Juha Vinha, Professor of Building Physics at the University of Tampere . "More research findings, both computational and experimental, are needed on this. It’s okay to develop the energy efficiency and environmental aspects of building materials, but this can
