Research Abstract

The purpose of this research is to clarify the optimal design method and lifestyle for solving the problem of a damp building. Therefore, nationwide survey about the damp building was conducted, and the relationship between living environment and a resident's health was clarified statistically. The use effect of high humidity environmental relief technology, such as hygroscopic material was evaluated using the experiment and the simulation.
