Fuktproblem i sydöstra Asien
The author has, with the help of AK Consultancy Indoor Air AB, formed a series of questions regarding moisture problems in buildings and how these are handled in extreme climates with high temperatures and a high relative humidity. Furthermore to analyse and indentify key material that makes a construction safe against moisture problems. Ventilation, AC and the choice of materials have in a later stage of the thesis been investigated to enhance the knowledge of moisture protection. The research for this report includes measurements on existing buildings, calculation models on the building envelope for analyses and the ingoing materials of the envelope. The health aspect of moisture problems related to ?sick building syndrome? has been included and interviews have been conducted to gather relevant information.A study of the American system, ASHRAE, American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers and the standards used in Singapore has been made to highlight the difference. A comparison between a Swedish wall construction and the technical solutions made in extreme climates for the envelope shows the difference in design that has to be made for the envelope to successfully stop moisture to penetrate the building. Furthermore has a study in the building process been made to investigate how moisture problems are handled during construction and how known problems are processed and treated.
