Abstract
Unwanted air leakage and moisture in building envelopes can cause high energy consumption, detrimental indoor air quality, poor occupant comfort, and reduction in building material durability. High moisture can cause rot and mold, leading to costly and time-consuming repairs that add to the carbon burden of the building envelope. Novel detection techniques for locating and measuring air leakage flow and areas of high moisture in building envelopes will be presented. The techniques are easy, fast, and non-destructive which can enable quick building envelope assessment, foster retrofits, and lead to energy savings and carbon emission reduction.
