Vertical greenery not only helps to cool the surfaces of buildings but, more importantly, it can also mitigate the Urban Heat Island effect. The growth of vertical greenery is highly dependent on ongoing maintenance, such as irrigation. Wind-driven rain ...

A render is the first protective layer of exterior walls against the outdoor climate, which, due to its constitution, aims to gradually slow down the liquid moisture penetration to prevent it from reaching the wall inner layers. Due to the future expecte...

The moisture load in wall assemblies is typically considered as 1% of the Wind Driving Rain (WDR) load that is deposited on the surface of wall assemblies as specified in the ASHRAE-160 standard whereas this ratio has been shown to be inaccurate as compa...
