Abstract

This study aims to analyze the problems that lead to the appearance of pathological manifestations of infiltration and moisture, verifying the primary causes of these occurrences in buildings, understanding the functionality of the process to avoid events of this degree, in addition to proposing protection mechanisms to solve these pathological manifestations. Pathological manifestations of humidity in buildings are constant in most cases, making environments with unhealthy tendencies, even favorable to generate diseases, particularly respiratory ones. The manifestations can be of different reasons where it causes discomfort to the user, besides functional, aesthetic, performance and even structural risks, bringing risk to the health and safety of the residents. As a result of these circumstances, this work results in a case study where we try to identify in a building pathological manifestations generated by humidity incidence, and at the end of the analysis we propose interventions in the affected environments, to execute the appropriate measures to solve the identified problems.
