Abstract
Hygroscopic building materials have the ability to moderate the relative humidity variation without the need for active systems. The moisture buffer phenomenon can be assessed by way of the Moisture Buffer Value (MBV). Some authors have pointed out that the MBV is sensitive to several parameters, however, there is no model that involves all them.The aim of the developed PC-tool is to take into account all these variables to calculate the MBV of hygroscopic building materials. The material hygroscopic properties will be needed to solve the moisture storage and transport inside the porous materials and consequently to predict its MBV.
