Assessment of mould growth between elements of exterior constructions
The installation of external, internal or cavity wall insulation may be an efficient measure to reduce the energy consumption of a building. Applying internal wall insulation may be the only feasible solution for some cases. However, unintended consequences such as moisture accumulation within the building elements may occur. This study constitutes part of exploratory research which aimed to examine whether air sampling through impaction and culture-based analysis can be utilised for the assessment of mould growth within building elements. The present paper aims to determine whether the location of mould within confined spaces affects the sampling results. Towards this end, a CFD analysis was carried out and was complemented by two series of scale experiments. The results from both procedures were then compared and useful conclusions regarding the flow pattern and the potential relationship between the mould's location and the sampling results were extracted.
