Original Abstract

This paper presents an analysis of two new wooden experimental buildings with different construction solutions, one from Denmark and the other from the Czech Republic. In order to compare the influence of different construction solutions on the hygrothermal performance and to estimate the durability of the constructions, the details of the joint between wall, floor and foundation was modelled in two dimensions and assessed with respect to risk of mould growth and fungal decay. The vulnerability of the analysed solutions to flaws in moisture design and construction strategy is assessed.
