Rising Damp coming from the ground that, by capillarity, rises
through porous materials is one of the main degradation causes of
historical and ancient buildings, essentially, of its thick walls
with heterogeneous composition. In the last few years, the Building
Physics Laboratory - LFC of Porto University, Faculty of
Engineering - FEUP, validated and analyzed the operating principle
of a technique called "Wall Base Ventilation System" for the
treatment of rising damp problems in historical and ancient
buildings, consisting in enforce the circulation of air in the base
of the walls of buildings with a relative humidity far from the
saturation. This work presents the most common rising damp
treatment techniques and the system's idea, develops a complex and
complete systems design model, using a numerical simulation program
and making some laboratory tests to get its validation and,
finally, presents the implementation of a hygro-regulated system in
a real building, a Portuguese historical Church.
