In recent years, Sweden has seen substantial changes to its building designs, especially regarding the envelope and ventilation systems, across both renovations and new constructions. Although enhancements like better insulation and new building materials have boosted energy efficiency, they have also led to moisture-related problems such as stains, mold, and decay. To address these issues, heat and moisture transfer simulations are used for damage assessments, relying on climate data and often utilizing a Moisture Reference Year (MRY). The creation of an MRY specifically for Sweden's buildings and climate is currently being explored. This work seeks to gather methods from different countries, conducting a thorough search in databases such as Scopus and Web of Science to find the most suitable approach for Sweden. The goal is to adapt these international methodologies to meet the unique demands of Swedish buildings and climate. The outcomes will contribute to establishing a Moisture Design Period (MDP) customized for Sweden, enhancing the durability and sustainability of its buildings.

摘要

In recent years, Sweden has seen substantial changes to its building designs, especially regarding the envelope and ventilation systems, across both renovations and new constructions. Although enhancements like better insulation and new building materials have boosted energy efficiency, they have also led to moisture-related problems such as stains, mold, and decay. To address these issues, heat and moisture transfer simulations are used for damage assessments, relying on climate data and often utilizing a Moisture Reference Year (MRY). The creation of an MRY specifically for Sweden's buildings and climate is currently being explored. This work seeks to gather methods from different countries, conducting a thorough search in databases such as Scopus and Web of Science to find the most suitable approach for Sweden. The goal is to adapt these international methodologies to meet the unique demands of Swedish buildings and climate. The outcomes will contribute to establishing a Moisture Design Period (MDP) customized for Sweden, enhancing the durability and sustainability of its buildings.
