In Estonia, External Thermal Insulation Composite System (ETICS) facades are known for being susceptible to degradation and failure which leads to cracks, discoloration, and plaster pieces falling off the facade. With the European Union’s goals of zero-emission building stock by 2050, once renovated but based on older...

Wind-driven rain (WDR) is a major moisture source for exterior walls and a key factor in the hygrothermal performance of unventilated facade systems, particularly those relying on moisture buffering. Accurate representation of WDR in hygrothermal modelling is essential, yet most approaches use vertical rain and wind da...

Drying strategies for end-grain-wetted cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels were studied, focusing on deformation development, and the effects of damage to end-grain protection. Deformations were quantiAied using a novel image-processing-based method and manual measurements. CLT test specimens (TSs) with compromised end...

Airtightness of the building envelope is critical for reducing energy use, limiting convective moisture transport, improving indoor air quality and safeguarding the durability of building components. Despite two decades of regulatory airtightness requirements in Estonia, the absence of coherent national guidance has le...
