Indoor Air Quality and the Probability of Mould Occurrence on Insulated Dwellings Walls in Southern Brazil
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 3
Abstract
European Directives Have Required A Higher Energy Efficiency In Buildings And, For This Reason, Some Countries Have Adopted A More Insulated Model That Provides A Minimum Heat Exchanges With The External Environment, Thus Keeping The Internal Temperature With Low Oscillation And Ensuring A Lower Energy Consumption For Air Conditioning. The Applicability Of This Model Has Been Studied And Extended To Other Warmer Countries, Including Brazil. This Paper Presents The Results Verified, By Computational Simulation, Of The Use Of Thermal Insulation On The External Wall Façade In A Single-Family Dwelling In The Southern Brazil. There Were Good Results Regarding Indoor Thermal Conditioning, However, Due To The Climatic Characteristics, The Moist Content Was Above 80% For More Than 6 Hours Between 40% And 50% From Year Hours, Bringing Great Possibility Of Mould Formation And Reducing Indoor Air Quality.
