The environmental control indoors with application of moisture-regulating plasters

Provision of comfortable conditions in the premises with simultaneous optimization of costs throughout the life cycle of the building was the main objective of the study. The analysis of the world engineering practice of troweling compounds with high moisture-regulating ability is performed. Information on the features of the manufacture of plasters with moisture-regulating ability is given. Usage of expanded aggregates that have the ability to quickly collect, store, and then slowly release moisture is an effective way to regulate moisture in living areas of buildings under construction as well as of newly erected ones. As a result of this study, it has been shown that it is possible to produce environmental control in residential premises not only through the operation of costly air conditioning systems that consume a significant amount of power, but also by using accumulating and easily releasing moisture building materials, providing a dampening effect. Studies have been carried out and troweling compounds with a high moisture-regulating ability with the use of domestic components have been developed, allowing, in addition to the above-mentioned purposes, to reduce the risk of water vapour condensation on the walls and the occurrence of fungi and mould in the room.
