It describes the main microorganisms proliferating on contemporary building elements and within buildings. It also states the consequences of biological growth on durability, aesthetics and human health; and provides the main methods for the analytical and experimental evaluation of proliferation. Finally, through the review of recent developments, remedial actions to counter the biological phenomenon are examined, and an outline is provided for future innovations in a field not yet widely investigated. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in applied sciences and technology. 606 $aBuildings$xAirtightness 606 $aBuildings$xEnergy conservation 606 $aMolds (Fungi)$xControl 606 $aAlgae$xControl 606 $aSick building syndrome$xPrevention 615 0$aBuildings$xAirtightness. 615 0$aBuildings$xEnergy conservation. 615 0$aMolds (Fungi)$xControl. 615 0$aAlgae$xControl. 615 0$aSick building syndrome$xPrevention. 676 $a579.17 700 $aDi Giuseppe$b Elisa$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0883071 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910437931803321 996 $aNearly Zero Energy Buildings and Proliferation of Microorganisms$91972549 997 $aUNINA
