![]() ![]() A key component of this paper discusses the application of innovative methods in the Australian context. This paper reports on the hygrothermal and mould growth analysis of the most common low-rise residential external wall system, a timber-framed clay masonry veneer wall. ![]() Australia introduced its first condensation and mould-related building regulations for new homes in 2019. ![]() In Australia, it has been estimated that up to 50% of Australian houses constructed in the last decade (2006–2016) have a presence of condensation and mould. However, as these methods have been adopted, many nations have identified an unintended visible presence of surface and interstitial condensation and mould in new code-compliant buildings. This has been considered advantageous as more efficient building envelopes would reduce energy consumed to heat and cool home interiors to within accepted thermal comfort bandwidths. To reduce greenhouse gas emissions, nations have introduced energy efficiency regulations for new and existing buildings. ![]()
