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 façades covered with ETICS and (ii) an evaluation of the factors affecting the façades? hygrothermal behaviour. Furthermore, using a previously validated numerical model, it presents a sensitivity analysis of the hygrothermal behaviour of façades coated with ETICS. It also provides a methodology to assess the surface humidification of ETICS, which combines the effect of surface condensation, wind-driven rain and the drying process (three of the most prevalent parameters influencing the surface moisture content), which can then be used as a decision-support tool. ETICS are now frequently used in Europe to improve the thermal efficiency of buildings. Despite their advantages in terms of thermal efficiency, their low cost and their ease of application, these systems are adversely affected by microbiological growth, which causes defacement of cladding. Although the thermal and mechanical performance of the system is not impaired, biological defacement has an enormous aesthetic impact, affecting the inhabitants? living experience and restricting the full implementation of this technology. External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS): An Evaluation of Hygrothermal Behaviour provides a valuable resource to engineers and architects utilizing ETICS in their work, and for researchers and students interested in the hygrothermal behaviour of ETICS. It is also intended for those employed in industry and manufacturers of ETICS. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Applied Sciences and Technology,$x2191-530X 606 $aEnergy efficiency 606 $aBuilding construction 606 $aComputer simulation 606 $aMathematical models 606 $aStructural materials 606 $aEnergy Efficiency$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/118000 606 $aBuilding Physics, HVAC$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T23080 606 $aSimulation and Modeling$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I19000 606 $aMathematical Modeling and Industrial Mathematics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M14068 606 $aStructural Materials$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z11000 615 0$aEnergy efficiency. 615 0$aBuilding construction. 615 0$aComputer simulation. 615 0$aMathematical models. 615 0$aStructural materials. 615 14$aEnergy Efficiency. 615 24$aBuilding Physics, HVAC. 615 24$aSimulation and Modeling. 615 24$aMathematical Modeling and Industrial Mathematics. 615 24$aStructural Materials. 676 $a693.832 700 $aBarreira$b Eva$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0862573 702 $ade Freitas$b Vasco Peixoto$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910253990003321 996 $aExternal Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS)$91998339 997 $aUNINA
