Thermodynamic “Damp Proofing” of old buildings
Abstract
The biggest problem of old buildings is the absence of damp proofing. Making up for this absence is not easy and can not be carried outs imply with mechanical devices, so generally trials with electrical and chemical methods to restore the damp proofing are explored. It quite often occurs that these types of post-proofing methods cannot be applied. In this case, we can easily restore the correct moisture of the building by creating particular building physics-conditions in the structure.
