External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS) An Evaluation of Hygrothermal Behaviour /

This book analyzes the hygrothermal behaviour of external thermal insulation composite systems (ETICS), components that increase the thermal efficiency of buildings. Treating a topic that has largely been neglected, it explores the main cause of biological growth within ETICS. The results of two exp...
