Heat and Moisture Transport with Mold Growth Prediction
Active
Description
This tutorial demonstrates how to use the temperature and relative humidity computed from a heat and moisture transport simulation of an insulated roof as inputs for a mold prediction model. The VTT model for mold growth and decline prediction calculates a mold index M by solving an ordinary differential equation (ODE), where the growth and decline rates depend on the time-dependent temperature and relative humidity within the building material.
A more detailed description of the physical phenomena and modeling approach is provided in the blog post Verifying a HAMSTAD Benchmark for an Insulated Roof Model.
