    • Integrated Hygrothermal Performance of Building Envelopes and Systems in Hot and Humid Climates 
      Karagiozis, A. N.; Desjarlais, A.; Salonvaara, M. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
      In hot and humid climates the interior and exterior environmental loads that building envelopes must respond to are larger than many other climatic conditions. Moisture-originated failures in low-rise residential buildings ...
    • Sensitivity of Low Sloped Roofs Designs to Initial Water and Air Leakage 
      Karagiozis, A.; Desjarlais, A.; Salonvaara, M. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2002)
      Liquid water in low sloped roofs almost always causes problems. Roofs are designed only to control the migration of vapor, if at all. Small amounts of water leakage/penetration, may cause mold growth or catastrophic corrosion ...
