Abstract
This report comprises a study of material threshold values, failure modes and related failure
prediction models to enable an evaluation of adding internal insulation in historic brick buildings.
Threshold values and prediction models have been investigated both within literature and through
laboratory study, by for instance comparing prediction models to real field results and by testing
threshold values in laboratory. The aim of this report is to find threshold values and suitable and
reliable prediction models to be included in the decision guidelines and the web tool, which are the
final outcomes of the RIBuild project. Failure modes included in the report are mould growth on
building materials, rot and wood decay, frost damage and discoloration of facades.
