Monte Carlo Simulation to Evaluate Mould Growth in Walls: The Effect of Insulation, Orientation, and Finishing Coating

Mould growth can have severe consequences both on the health of occupants and on constructions’ durability. Mould growth is a very complex process that depends on many factors such as temperature and relative humidity, presence of nutrients, and exposure time. Several mould prediction models, which...
