An innovative test method for evaluating the critical moisture level for mould growth on building materials

The critical moisture level (RHcrit) for mould growth, that is the lowest relative humidity (RH) at which mould can grow, varies between different materials. The factors that most affect mould growth, RH and temperature, also vary in different parts of a building. One way of preventing the growth of...
