Implementation and Monitoring of Higroregulated Wall Base Ventilation Systems to Control Rising Damp

Abstract:

This work describes the implementation of two higroregulated wall base ventilation systems in a church in the North of Portugal for the treatment of rising damp and presents the results of four years of the systems monitoring. It is a work developed by LFC – Laboratory of Building Physics of FEUP, where the main goal is to validate and optimize this treatment technique. It was assessed the functioning and effectiveness of the implemented systems, minimizing the likelihood of condensation inside them and maximizing the drying process through the adoption of higroregulated systems. With the monitoring carried out it is possible to conclude that, for the analyzed climate, it is better to adopt a seasonal operation, where the air is admitted from the exterior, during the warm months, and in the cold months the air is admitted from the interior of the Church.
