Multiscale unveil of moisture in buildings

In this lecture, we zoom at different scales unveiling different aspects of moisture in buildings. At atomistic scale, we unravel sorption hysteresis in wood. At pore scale, we analyze the impact of particle deposition on the drying process of a porous material. At material scale, we present a two-phase model for predicting the effective moisture transport properties of books. At building scale, we analyze the potential of desorption cooling. Peer-review under the responsibility of the organizing committee of the ICMB21.
