    moisture engineering

    Moisture engineering is an approach by building researchers to develop guidelines for construction industry under the current research status.

    Currently, mathematical models are not complete, material properties and mechanisms need more comprehensive study. Experimental work is time consuming. This approach combines both theoretical and experimental effects into one solution.

    The basic idea is to use the experimental results to valid the theoretical model, most possibly only for certain configurations and ranges.
