If exposed timber studs show signs of mould growth during construction, the mould must be remediated before it is enclosed in the wall. If not, mould will continue to grow inside the wall #healthyBuildings #ArchitecturalScience #BuildingScience

Some contemporary architectural design elements can let water penetrate the envelope:
- Boxy designs with articulated walls that jut in and out have gutters that are not straight.
- Ledges where wall materials change
- Box gutters without sumps
- Sky lights
- Flat roof
- Balconies
If buildings have these elements, be extra mindful of thoughtful detailing! #healthyBuildings #ArchitecturalScience #BuildingScience

Water damage in buildings cause mould growth. Some people develop Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) where their bodies can't clear the biotoxins found in fungi. #healthyBuildings #ArchitecturalScience #BuildingScience

I tried to take the day off by sitting on the couch. Brain says no. Now I'm outlining the content for the 2023 Architectural Science Association's conference website #conference #asa2023Launceston #BuildingPhysics #ArchitecturalScience

#workshop at #work. I don’t use it much because I’m a data scientist, but still cool 🤓 #UTAS #CSAW #architecturalScience

My lab got awarded the best student paper at the recent architectural science association conference at Curtin University. A novel method for estimating precipitation in climate datasets for hygrothermal analysis. Recognition like this ISN'T the driver for my work but it sure feels good and is validating🙂 My work is to ensure we are building well as we transition to zero emission buildings #resilientBuildings #climateChange #architecture #architecturalScience #buildingPhysics #netZero

#architects If you care about #climateChange, make Science the basis of your design; design #netZero buildings; design for #sequestering #carbon. Don’t leave it up to the engineers. Ross Donaldson #keynote #architect #architecture #architecturalScience #ASAConference2022
