External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (Etics): An Evaluation of Hygrothermal Behaviour

by Vasco Peixoto Freitas, Eva Barreira, Vasco Peixoto de Freitas

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 experimental test series are presented: (i) a long-term assessment of four fa?ades covered with ETICS and (ii) an evaluation of the factors affecting the...
